I think the PSP GO! is a big mistake.
SONY don't seem to have learnt from their past experience in my opinion....
Mistakes:
#1. $250........remember E3 2006 & $599.....the price that turned this generation on its head. Well who the hell do they think is going buy a PSP GO! (which mind you I feel is a downgrade) for $250.
#2. DD Only.......right the i-phone worked due to apple's great experience with software that is DD & so on. SONY do not have such an experience & they are not as good as apple in the field. 16GB.....how many games will fit into that? 10 at maximum right? My UMD case at home can store 30 games in it!
#3. Games.........MGS:PW.....well I'm sure its going to be enjoyable, but its not really a system seller, surely people who loved MGS got a PSP for MGS:PO & MGS:Ac!d
#4. Consumer Base......SONY said they did research, but who did they ask. PSP's BIG gaming group is among the teens, the teens (14 - 18), many of them think DS is Kiddy.....how are they going justify PSP GO! when they have no credit cards (PSN cards better be coming).
On the other hand the good things SONY did:
#1. GT:Portable......that will kick start momentum.....but I would just buy a PSP 3000 & GTP on that.....why would I buy a PSP GO! for GT:P
___________________________
They don't know who they are selling PSP GO! to, it will not be a success at all imo. People aren't ready for a DD only gaming system.
I see it bombing in sales.......<5 Million LTD for the console
Add in your own points or refute my points...atleast give a good explanation........I just see the PSP GO! being a waste of R & D budget! & OFCOURSE give your SALES predictions now that you see the shortcomings
EDIT: one last thing
SONY said it was for the "High end user".....jeez SONY, you tried to make PS3 for the high end user in 2007.....where did that get you.....CHANGE PLEASE!

1. They got to make some money some how and this is good way to do it, I'm sure it's cheap for them to make so they'll likely be making a good bit of money off of it. Good for Sony, I say. And cmon it's only $250, thats like buying a Wii.
2. They're just trying something new because soon enough everything is going to be DD, so they might as well get ahead of the competition with that just to see how well it adapts to the consumers. And 16 GB is plenty, the average consumer isn't going to have more then 10 PSP games no way in hell, this is a PSP remember (piracy), and even if they did you can add even more memory to the PSP Go.
3. I don't understand this because theres going to be no difference between games on the PSP 3000 and PSP Go, most games will be on both, especially the important ones. Sony said there going to support both systems.
4. Obviously they want to expand there audience, the PSP 3000 can take care of the teens and the PSP Go can be for the older people. Smart move by Sony IMO.
The PSP Go is an upgraded PSP 3000, it's not a PSP2 (which a lot of people seem to think).
