^ like the internet and facebook and twitter and amazon etc.

they all experienced people saying the same thing


  Not really the internet, amazon, etc, are all extremely easy to use, even people who aren't computer savvy easily figure it out, but according to the article, even those familiar with the PSP and game systems, are having trouble understanding the go, that means a much higher learning curve than the internet

When amazon came out everyone called it a failure, and but they decided to keep amazon going at a loss because they needed to give time to consumers to learn how to use it. By learn they don't mean how difficult the product is to use. It's a willingness on the part of the consumer to purchase goods in a certain way.

 

They may have called it a failure, but not because it was difficult to use, maybe because it was new, on the other hand with the PSP GO:

It's really education, I don;t know how many times after E3 that I saw on blogs, “Well, I love the [PSP]go, it looks nice and portable, but where do I put my disk?”

Its not like digital distribution is something new, people have been downloading songs for years now, but people are not understanding how to use the GO, even though downloading is not something people are unfamiliar with, this isn't like Amazon
