From Gamertell's the opinion piece:
"The PSPgo debuted October 1, 2009. It's been out for two weeks and Sony has yet to start gloating about the system's sales. There were no first two- or three-day sales figures reported. Sony hasn't even released first-week sales figures. This leaves consumers to wonder whether or not the PSPgo is really doing all that well."
Sometimes newer isn't better when it comes to hardware. Here are five subpar console redesigns that chopped a feature too many.
I would also add the Gameboy Micro. The Gameboy Advance SP was already a little bit too small, and the Micro which was made even smaller, was impossible to play for more than 5 minutes without destroying your hands.
Note to author. Make the section titles BIGGER than the text for the body of each section. It reads better.

I got one at launch and still have it.
Great system and super portable.
Not so comfortable for big hands playing for long sessions though.
Have good memories of Peace Walker on the Go, pun intended.
I believe there is some prototype of a hand held console with dedicated GPU that can run modern AAA games too.
PSP has such great games, it's such a shame Vita didn't do as well, I still use mine I bought in 2014. I still would love an upgraded handheld if just for ports, though.
I've enjoyed my PSP a lot, too bad they're not making handhelds anymore.
That time when Skype was available on PSP was awesome.

it's more prevalent now, so I don't think it's the same thing. I've been all digital since 2014, so if the next gen of consoles has a discless SKU as well as one for physical media, I would likely get the discless one.
Sony at least had the decency to put in 16GB storage in the PSP Go which was more space than what other models with disc drives had out of the box to compensate for the lack of physical media.
Microsoft didn’t even bother putting in a 4TB HDD into this thing to make it more enticing over a standard model. This whole things reeks of halfassed decisions just to see how the market reacts to an all digital device.
Its far more relevant now and could EASILY be a popular choice...
but just not at that price
Ah! The uncanny curiosity!
Everyone knows opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one,in most cases.
Why the hell would someone pick one up now when they can wait for a price drop?
I doubt the PSP Go is moving any significant numbers. Sony should have known better...
They obviously haven't been paying attention to Sony. Sony has said the PSP Go is performing to what they expected, they said the PSP has increased 300% since the Go's launch. What more do you want?!
Making assumptions because you can't handle the fact that something you don't like is not doing poorly is just bad journalism. Not that I expected more from a no-name website.
