@The Anarchyz: I believe the about digital distribution was about movies, not games. Due to different nature of the two forms of entertainment, movies are more likely to go digital and games keep physical.
Ei Kiinasti.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
I really hope so. Right now I'm looking back at my old pokémon Red, and Silver cartridges, and I really can't imagine gaming without being able to look back at my old games every now and then.
I LOVE ICELAND!
I for one understand what Sony is doing with the PSP 3000 and Go.
The 3000 is for the traditional gamer and the Go is for the mainstream cosumer.
If you already have a 1000/2000/3000 PSP then you still have access to the same store that the Go people have access to.
I also heard from at least 2 sites (joystiq and IGN) that people didn't like and weren't going to buy the PSP because it wasn't really "portable".
Having to carry around bigger than cartridge UMD's, short battery, bulky hotdog design.
The Go is targeted to that market. Taking the exsisting PSP experience, but expanding to the people that didn't like the hardware design and UMD uses.

I think that's why the Go is actually pretty crafty. The regular PSP remains as a safety net, while the Go is really an experiment to test the waters. If it doesn' t tale off enough it doesn't matter, information learnt. Also, I think a handheld, with the acceptance of iPhone, etc. is the safer place to also try digital vs say a home console. If you think about it Sony can observe: a - continued UMD sales b - digital sales to regular PSPs c - digitial sales to Go |
Yeah, but if the PSP Go fails, why did it fail? Was it because people didn't like DD only, was it "fewer features",was it the price, was it the public outcry about DD and price, was it the smaller screen, or some other factor?
In the end if it fails to ever properly get off the ground Sony may learn nothing more than most people didn't like it enough to buy it.

Sony is a big corporation, they can use every method known in the statistics and marketing world to do the investigation on why one of their products fail or succeed... Even a smaller company can do it...

They're not driving anything down your throat... infact they're hardly even asking you to buy it... that's why they're still supporting the 3000... They're giving you two options... |
Exactly....
Sony is basically giving people who want DD an option of buying a PSP more suitable towards that...
If you want to keep UMD buy a 3000
THATS WHY THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS....
seriously there is no need to complain about the GO because if you dont like DD just buy a 3000...the GO is meant to serve the interests of people in the DD market....
Predictions
GT5 will sell 3.2million + first week on ps3 (made 06 March 2010)
FFXIII Versus will have higher Metacritic scores than FFXIII after the first month.... Bet going on with perpride - loser changes sig for a month
KH3 will be PS3 EXCLUSIVE - willing to bet removal from vgchartz for a month

So is that enough evidence to support my comment in my original post? Yes i think so..... |
