Aiemond how many on that list are consoles that release at a higher price and make your old games for that console useless? I also bet that most of those were used to replace old models

Thats what I thought.

People are too simple minded

DSi released at a higher price point than the DSL was selling at and lost the GBA compatibility. As for this being sold to new markets..this was targeted at the hardcore gamer, expecially at that price. The writing was on the wall for these kinds of sales before launch so they are not a suprise. That does not mean they are not a flop though. The Go is not going to take off in Japan and will not be an important section of the market there. Sony will tout it and try and make it look pretty for a bit till they let it die off there.

 

The fact is, the pspgo sold like shit on day 1. When the DS releases a new color it sold more than the go on its first day. If you want to say that the go is some small market product that was designed to be used by about 100k people in Japan then I guess can't call this a flop (more a bad decision) but if you want it to have any meaningful penetration or presence, well, the 28k first day number makes that almost impossible. And that, by definition, is a flop.
