Why people hate this upgraded psp is because there is not a second analog stick. I think sony could have just have a new psp but keep all of the older psp specs and just add a 2nd stick. THen people would by this. also if I had the choice between psp go and a wii... I would choose a wii any day(even though the wii is overpriced)because the wii is a functional console and not and not very well update console.

My thoughts on the second analog stick..

Sony could have added the second analog stick and button mapped it to the Triangle Circle Square and X face buttons. That way FPS games would play more comfortably for PSP Go owners but the same game would still work for older models. That is all the second analog stick is really needed for. The lack of one really cripples the feel of the FPS genre on the console almost to the point of not wanting to play them. Call of Duty and Metal of Honor for PSP are almost unbearable to play with face buttons.

well im in the other column I own a 1000 with custom firmware (i do not pirate games, or homebrew games I use it for the homebrew apps)

I own a 2001 that I keep with the latest official firmware

And I will be buying a Go! just to have on ein my collection, also I have heard there will be blu-tooth sync with mobile phones for data so there is a good reason to buy....

SpoonyRedMage6168d ago

I think part of it obviously has to do with the fact that it's the fourth redesign in four years and offers little in advancements in the scheme of things. It actually does appear to be a downgrade when you consider short battery life, smaller screen and no UMD but the price is higher.

jadenkorri6165d ago

with lack of umd, what do i do, hell im not going to rebuy every psp game i own, and i still don't want to give up my umds in the first place, i hope maybe sony will come out with a type of transfer from psp to the ps3 then to the psp go and ill be for it

TheColbertinator6167d ago

The price is just ridiculous.At least bundle it with a game code for download

Gue16167d ago (Edited 6167d ago )

I hate it because it's too expensive! If Sony dropped the price of the PS3 by $100 it almost be at the same price as a freaking PSP go! Get my point?

The Ds still more fun and it is a lot more cheaper. If the PSP go included more things like a a fancy touch screen and a second analog stick then it would be awesome at the price.

PotNoodle6167d ago

Like i said though, we're ignoring the price for now. I do agree they're overpricing it, but as a device - why are people hating it?

As for the second analogue.. nintendo nearly ran themself into the ground by segmenting their market.. sony didn't want to segment the whole PSP market..

This is just an alternative, not a replacement, not a new platform, an alternative for people, like me who prefer download only.

"This is just an alternative, not a replacement, not a new platform, an alternative for people, like me who prefer download only."

You just answered your own question. PSP owners wanted more of an upgrade, not an expensive alternative.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the Go still 64MB of RAM like the previous two PSP models? When did it double?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
