Forums - Sales - Is the PS3 responsible for the PSP Go flop?

Is Go even out yet?

PSP Gois responsible for the PSP Go flop.

Though I think it's a little early to be screaming "FLOP!"



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Err, Sony said at launch the Go would only appeal to early adopters - i.e. it would have low sales initially.

Why has it flopped? Link me to some evidence that it's not performing in line with a new, expensive high tech device targeting only a small audience of early adopters.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I'm don't know much about the PSP Go so would someone mind answering since it's games don't use UMD then what does it use?

It's all digital, i.e. you download them into the system memory/memory stick and play them from there, like you do with your PC.

Really? Does this mean they won't have any PSP Go games sold at retail stores?? Seems like a bad move....

That's exactly what it means. You can imagine how thrilled this makes retailers...Also, there's no used market for PSP games. The latter seems to be the consumers' main complaint, although the price tag is also brought up repeatedly.

3000 and UMD's aren't going anywhere.

OT: When did it flop??? 

Right, I mispoke. Add "Go" after "PSP" in my last sentence.



GO flopped..somebody post numbers

I agree with you Lord Sidious......what is thy bidding my master?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I think people are jumping the gun ( usually it's the fanboy's of rival consoles LOL), but if everyone can just wait until we hear something first from Sony and then something from retailers, then we will know whether it was a hit or miss.



As much of a rip off that the psp go is I really want one. I looks sexy, small enough to fit in my pants pocket and it plays movies and music too something I might enjoy at the gym. Hmm instead of playing Wii Fit I could see myself playing Valkeria Chronicles 2 on the elliptical.



I don't think the PSP GO can flop.

It's not a floppable device in the sense that it is not necessarily meant to increase PSP sales. The device was made to introduce digital distribution as a mainstream source of media for portable gaming devices.

SONY just suffers from gamers hate. When Iphone uses the same type of distribution. And it's not that much more expensive then a DSi but it can arguable do way more then a DSi.

I think the device will get a lot more attention through word of mouth. When people see one and play around with it they want one. If you ask anyone who doesn't game about the price they think it's reasonable. $250 doesn't sound bad when the first thing you compare it to is an Ipod or Iphone or something else.



I hope it sold well. I just want to see plenty of people eat crow for claiming it flopped, yet we have info yet.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
