PSP Go will sell regardless of some may feel about it and its pricetag.

Dont think Sony's just competing against the NDS, there's also the iPod Touch. Think of all the kids and teens that want an iPod Touch, a 16gb is more expensive ($299 was it and $230 for a 8gb?), not everybody likes to use iTunes to put in music, and the games....nuff said. Dont be surprised if Sony's PSP Go will start replacing people's choices instead of wanting an iPod. 

There are some people that choose the iPod over PSP due to portable comfort and the new PSP Go now has that. Thats enough said to believe that the PSP Go will suceed over the PSP-3000.

I think that may be counting your chickens a bit too soon. Ideally, I would love to see the PSP Go become a successful rival to the IPod, but I think the GO is a niche market for people like me who think a purely digital game machine is a great idea. The Apple name and the IPod brand is synonimus with on the go multi-media devices, so Sony has a long road ahead of them if they want to be competative. The name carries stigma and that must be broken in the consumers mind a piece at a time, or the PSP will long be recognized as that failed handheld, despite it selling 47 million units and being a perfectly capable MMD.

Hopefully all the good things this system has to offer remove some of the bad stigma associated with the product. I love my PSP btw.
