Nintendo President Questions PSP Go, Wonders "Who's it For?"

Nintendo President Questions PSP Go, Wonders "Who's it For?"

Quote:
Sony has managed to stir up quite a controversy with the release of the PSP Go. Whether it's because of its omission of physical media, the lack of a UMD-to-digital conversion program, the crappy "bonus" that North Americans got for purchasing one... there's more than a few reasons that have caused gamers to complain about the newest iteration of the PlayStation Portable. Now even Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, is questioning some of the choices that Sony has made.
Speaking with The Washington Post, Fils-Aime suggested the Go has a "fundamental concept problem in terms of 'Who's it for?' and 'What's the benefit?'" And it's difficult to provide solid answers to either of those questions. For current PSP owners, upgrading to the Go would leave their UMD collections worthless (and trust me, this is not a pleasant realization). Newcomers to the PSP are left to buy only games that are available on the PlayStation Store, and at the price that publishers set -- no taking advantage of eBay, used games at GameStop, or a friend's selection of games. And either way, $250 is awfully pricey.

Fils-Aime's comments will ultimately only add fuel to the intense debate between the Goers and no-Goers out there. Don't expect Sony to suddenly change directions because one its competitors doesn't publicly agree with some of their decisions.
lol

srsly tho, "psp go"es straight back into the box and into the attic for the day all of your other handhelds are mysteriously annihilated by an emp blast
