The article writer sounds like fan. When did fans become prestigious journalists? fans can't be because they colour everything poorly. So how about poor journalist instead.
How was the PSP ever "Under performing"? There was no other Sony handheld before the PSP in the games market? PSP was supposed equal sales of the DS? ah ha, the competitiveness and disappointment of the so called journalist shows it's self.
How is the PSPGo setting back DD medium? because Sony is the king of DD? i'm sorry the DD king is the PC. It's extremely healthy. PC DD has been around for over 10 years. Cell phone DD has been around for a LONG time too. Sorry but the PSP has ZERO/0 impact on the DD health. Once again the journalist shows his colours in that "HIS" product isn't performing up to par as say iPhone/iTouch/iTune/PSN/Live/WiiWare/PC......so on.
Oh and of course what others have mentioned. Full prices games on a more expensive machine that theoreticaly should be cheaper with the removal hardware. I can't imagine any hardware that may have been added costing significantly more than the UMD drive.
As a correction. Even if you buy a game from retail you are still leasing the game. You only own the physical medium. When it comes to software ownership there is no difference if it's DD or Physical.
Once again the poor journalist is assuming that Sony is important player in the DD world. Since Sony move into DD is PSN and PSPGo they have in fact a TINY portion of the DD model that has been around for MANY years. No company is going to be scared off by the PSPGo failure. If I may add there is once again iPhone and the DSi which supports DSiWare and ALL cellphones where DD is doing well.
As a personal commentary. The journalist in question is very questionable as a journalist. In a matter of speaking his "article" is well written, but is just a composition of thoughts that would suit a BLOG more good journalism. Blogs don't need to be well written or thought out.
I had my 2cents I'm good. I will now leave this thread forever :P
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
