The managing director of Chips, the UK's largest independent game store chain, doesn't see a bright future for Sony's new PSP Go. In fact, during a little pow-wow with GI.biz, Don McCabe said, "I'm 99.9 per cent sure it's going to fail miserably, in which case it's going to put back other potential people coming into that digital space." Wow, that's a lot of certainty!

McCabe doesn't point to any one thing about the new handheld as a deterrent for potential customers (examples: price; no UMD; crazy cable accessories), but seems adamant that the system isn't destined to "go anywhere." Of course, this comes in stark contrast to Sony's opinion that PSP Go sales are meeting expectations. If both end up being correct, those must have been some weirdly low expectations.

LOOL

PSP Go and Epic fail in 1



AWSOME!

Oh yeah, it's totally failing. Like how it just boosted Americas sales 300%. Huge flop.

It's in line with expectations, and gave a 300% boost in NA.

And i have never heard of "Chips" shops...

I agree

@tedster

a 1 week boost = nothing

If it shows a PS3 slim like effect after the first week point noted!

i walked into my gamestop and there is no sign of it being there at all no posters no boxes nothing, u no i doubt there even sell it?

Those are some pretty low expectations then...and the boost is nothing to brag about. We shall see if PSPGo sales remain strong.

I dont think consumers wanna give tech companies anymore control than they already have... psp go is FAIL

its because they dont want digital distribution to become mainstream, thats why we get all the negative press..

Lol, that's my favorite Epic Fail pic.
