Forums - Sony - How is the PSP Go a megaton?

Showertea on 30 May 2009

How is the PSP Go a megaton? Isn't it pretty much exactly what Nintendo just did with the DSi?

 

Both the PSP Go and the DSi have:

1: removed a legacy game slot that nobody really used (UMD for PSP, GBA for DS)

2: a focus on downloadable content

3: a focus on multimedia content (pictures for the DSi, improved movie-playing form factor for the PSP Go)

4: kept support for the legacy system by the manufacturer (DS Light/PSP 3000)

 

Now, I'm not saying Sony copied the DSi, I'm only saying the PSP Go is hardly a megaton that's going to destroy Nintendo this E3 and leave the rest of the game world in the dust.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

I've never heard anyone call it a megaton O.o

Its not a megaton, its just a minor blip really compared to everything else going on.



Tease.

Like someone else said.. i thought they said that the E3 would have the "megaton" announcement, so i dont really get the question. Why would you assume this would be it?

Still.. i think a DD only device is a big announcement.

we have known that the psp go was in development for a vary vary vary long time.

psp go is no megaton. this will only temporarily help the psp and deloplers.
i give it a month or so.

than the psp is back in the coffin.

sony dropped the ball on this.
the placemnt of the buttons is awkward, they are alienating thier entire base.
its looks fugly.

its renders all but 100 games that are launching with it useless.
its not even compatible with its own games... what was sony thinking.

they have shot themselves in the foot




hello how are you.

I'm afraid to tell you, but I doubt this is the megaton. I'm pretty sure we're a few days away from E3, Sony isn't stupid. The last thing they would do is announce a megaton a couple days before.
