PSPgo is a great product, the fact most dont want download only doesnt make it a bad product. Why would it be a blatant attempt to milk the brand?

 

Its an obvious failure because it didn't give the people what they wanted. The fact that even now games aren't being made available for it as new releases is enough to call it as such. Other digital distribution models have worked significantly better and an entirely digitially distributed competitor beat the PSP by revenue in 2009 in the United States.

If theyre intend was to milk the psp trademark, they should have release something different then a download only system. Dont you think so?

I didn't say that the PSP Go was milking anything it obviously didn't sell. I was saying that as an attempt at digital distribution and as a product it was a failure though other digital distribution platforms have worked extremely well. The product is more than just the physical hardware. Obviously they couldn't get the right product mix because what they produced was unappealing for most.

Agreed
