Sony Reportedly Ends PSP Go Production

Posted by Soulskill on from the no-use-throwing-good-money-after-bad dept.

Sony's PSP Go launched in late 2009 to mixed reviews and tepid sales. A little over a year later, Sony announced the portable console's successor, the NGP, leading to speculation about how long the PSP Go would last. Now, a report out of Japan suggests production on the device is winding down. Sony responded to inquiries about the report with vague PR-speak, but a UK retailer confirmed that they wouldn't be receiving replacements once their current stock ran out.

    The hardware is beautiful but the marketing strategy was epic fail.

    YOU CANNOT STORE GAMES.

    It's download only, but you only get 16GB. And you could buy PSP games for the price of those super-mini not to mention empty memory cards.

    They had a hard time selling them, because they had a hard time explaining why the normal PGP was better.

    EPIC FAIL.
