[quote name='AwRy108']Seeing as how there's still no concrete release schedule for the digital version of PSP games and that the prices are nearly immune to price drops, I just can't see the incentive for the Go. If Sony had delivered on their promise of allowing us to convert our UMD games into digital format, I'd be all over the Go; but, alas, they dropped the ball...
I have a PSP-3000, Extended Life Battery, and nearly 50 UMD games, along with a 16GB MS Pro Duo and an 8GB MS Pro Duo--someone just try to tell me why I need a Go. C'mon, I dare ya'

You dont need a Go. The Go was not made for you. You are not the target demographic for a Go. Sony loses no sleep because you do not own or want a Go.
The reason why gaming magazines consider the Go a failure is because they dont understand the Go. Thats fine, gaming magazines are the last place to turn to understand the
business behind the gaming industry. The Go had minimal development costs (they even used a recycled chasis) and is simply an attempt to capture a niche market. Would Sony have loved it if the Go became a hit? Yes. Is Sony's financial future and PSP gaming division a failure because the Go doesnt sell as much the
public thinks it should? Probably not.
As an economic consultant, I can tell you that from a business persepctive, not all losses are failures and not all "failures" are losses.
