Let me pose this question:
If the next Nintendo handheld played digital DS games for backwards compatibility, but did not have a cart slot... would you buy it?
Do you guys realize that DSiWare is, effectively, the first step towards that?
The PSP Go has more quality titles readily available than any other handheld, as far as the average joe, who does not like to visit the local GameStop, and paw through the used DS pile, is concerned. By November a huge portion of all PSP games ever made will be available in the store.
For a new consumer... that's a pretty sweet deal, I think. I doubt the PSP Go will flop, for that reason alone. People thought the iPhone was dumb and overpriced too. Having all those titles available, and in your pocket thanks to the large internal storage capacity... is a pretty powerful thing.

Source? I have yet to meet anyone - and I know thousands of folks - who thought the iPhone was dumb and overpriced. I actually know of at least 5 folks who have bought 2 and even 3 iPhones after the screen broke. How old are you?

I think most people thought the iPhone was overpriced at its $600 launch price. I did at least.

I thought it was overpriced too, but after playing with one, like Twestern said, I realized how awesome it is. Is it perfect? No. But I tell you this - the PSP Go doesn't have the same following as the iPhone, nor the amount of apps that the iPhone has.
Plus, this move to digital downloads handled by Sony appears to be a power move. It's all about control. It will fall far short to dethrone the iPhone, iTouch or the DSi.
Millions have paid $600 for an iPhone and waited in line for one. I just flipped an iPhone with a broken screen for $225 and had dozens of inquiries. The PSP-Go will be appealing to some, but won't come close to hurting the DSi, IMHO.
