The PSPgo has been discontinued in most of the world because it was a digital-only handheld. Thus proving that a digital distribution future is far off.

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
Sony's collapsible PSP model was cut down before it could even reach its prime, and it might have been their best handheld. Here's why the PSP Go is missed.
It was a nice idea but i think it was too late in the PSP life cycle. Also they should have released some software that let you get your UMD games into the PSP Go.
The article says it well, Sony deserves credit for taking a chance in the digital download industry. Sony did the best they could.
Kinda glad I didn't buy one, although saying that, I didn't buy a PSP either.
a dd only real game handheld will only sell in the hundreds of units a month
and all ngp games will be digital like what the psp has except minis
It was kind of pointless but the NGP looks like it's going to be the real PSP.
