PSP Go Sales Atrocious

Don’t mess with SONY or the pspGO..

They’re both bad-ass….

So cool that Iiiii…..don’t have one
End of discussion!

^MD is alright. There was no intention of anything bad unlike their ROOTKITS and the pspGo. Like you said, Mp3 came to swoop them down and MD came at the worst time.

I really prefer DVD-Audio/SACD/Blu ray lossless out of all the formats.
But yeah no one likes disc swapping, I agree its nicer to have playlists. ALthough MP3 is horrible to listen 2 on Audiophile gear like what we have

Hey, don’t be dissing the MD! I remember when they debuted in Canada, and I bought the top-end recording model for around $650 or so. It was far ahead of its time, being so much smaller than CD-players and of course, being recordable. If Sony had relented to MP3s sooner, the MD might have had greater success in North America.

Very true, Derek. Continued case n point below

Alexa: Where’s your Sony Minidisc player. Don’t you have like 200 minidiscs? They’re better than cd/mp3 cause you can find them anywhere
no one has to support PSP go sales. As much as you’d like to think, Sony doesn’t care about you. Sony is a BUSINESS. Its about making money. Anyways as long as you get one of the devices its good.

DerekWu said: If the PSP Go were $199 CDN, then it would be OK. However, you are forced to homebrew/hack if you want to play non-download games. I think that sometimes Sony does weird stuff like this just to test people. This is the same company that kept on pushing proprietary stuff like ATRAC (remember?) and still refuses to follow conventional wisdom (um…imitate NINTENDO!).

With your convincing, I’m currently 60% PSP Go and 40% PSP 3000. Hey, someone’s got to support PSP Go sales!
Fine, I’ll wait until it’s at ‘bargain bin’ prices. Happy?

Btw, I don’t think Sony wants to compete with Nintendo. Sony’s got the hardcore gamers and Nintendo’s got the casual gamers. More casual gamers, more sales for Nintendo.

With the money saved 169 vs 249 you can put it all towards Ff13
OR you can
buy both Dissidia AND crisis core at retail price (Cause I know aussies get ripped off and pay retail) +get a screen protector.

I Own the PSP3000 dissidia pack and wouldn’t ever trade it for a crappy GO.

I’m trying to convince our resident gamer/blogger here, Alexa not to get it.

It’s DOWNGRADED AND its MORE MONEY. What worse thing, can you possibly do to it?

Right now PSP3000 can download any game off the PSN. A lot of people are confused and think you can’t make your system more “portable” if thats the issue. Besides you can then play any UMD game that already exists.

This is SO backwards. WIth new technology, the original is suppose to become cheaper, and the new product replace the “old” price. The Go does both things wrong and downgrades itself while costing more? WTF.

-The screen is wider, but isn’t much bigger to carry.
-More peripherals and cases exist for the 3000
-You can add more storage/swap out MEMORY cards. Say you use up 16GB on Demos, like “resident blogger” is known to do, you can put in another 16GB disk.

Way to go Sony and your sales. You could of either made go really dirt cheap like 99usd or upgraded the Psp to PSP4000 like now and made both cheaper and had possibility of overtaking DS sales, but no.

No wonder the sales are horrible. Just LOOK at it. Wouldn’t be caught dead with that thing. hahaa. The original PSP looks much more sleek.
