How is the PSP Go a megaton? Isn't it pretty much exactly what Nintendo just did with the DSi?

 

Both the PSP Go and the DSi have:

1: removed a legacy game slot that nobody really used (UMD for PSP, GBA for DS)

2: a focus on downloadable content

3: a focus on multimedia content (pictures for the DSi, improved movie-playing form factor for the PSP Go)

4: kept support for the legacy system by the manufacturer (DS Light/PSP 3000)

 

Now, I'm not saying Sony copied the DSi, I'm only saying the PSP Go is hardly a megaton that's going to destroy Nintendo this E3 and leave the rest of the game world in the dust.

A difference here, and why I will look to pass on the PSP Go, but went with the DSi, is that I can play my current DS games on my DSi.  I buy a PSP Go, I have to rebuy everything.  Flat out, this sucks.  The DSi gave me a larger screen also.  Now, if the PSP Go had a second analog stick, it would be worth considering.

They haven't said what is going to happen to those of us with 20 UMDs sitting around, maybe they will have something, give them a chance to actually announce it before you completely dismiss it
