I think we disagree on psp go sales... there are a LOT of people that want it and do not like to carry disks... plus it has the best games on almost any system coming out in the near future.. i expect a huge turn around for the pspgo (not like the psp 3000 is doing bad but a huge uplift in psp sales is what i mean)

I think you're wrong for several reasons

1- Let's not forget another group of peoples : the retailers. They don't like the PSPGO, not at all, and I believe they won't push this device. Maybe some general stores will, but Gamestop and other just won't because it's pretty much about shooting yourself in the feet, both for first hand and second hand markets.

2- Because of tensions with retailers, Sony is going to sell digital version at the box version's price and that's really a downturn for consumers.

3- Because digital games cannot be re-sold. Publishers can cry all they want : many players can only afford to buy new games because they sold previous ones. You can't do that with the PSPGo and that's a huge weakness IMO.
