PSP Go, Go, Gone?
Can the PSPGo ever be a success? There are now many articles writing about how Sony sees the sales of it’s 3 week old console (3 weeks at the time of writing!) ‘in line with expectations,’ but the fact that HMV, Amazon and Game have already dropped the price of the console to £199 would indicate that it’s not been too popular. It’s more expensive than the PSP-3000 (and the UMD drive has been replaced by cheaper flash memory, so it ought to be cheaper??) and the games have to be bought online, so no reselling those completed games to pay for the next title. Personally, these points mentioned are what make me think that the PSPGo is not going to be a popular machine – at least not at it’s current price point. Another £5o off the price and I’d be sorely tempted. It ticks all the boxes; sleek, light and decent games. But for most people, not being able to sell your old games on to pay for new ones might make this console too expensive in the long run!
