The death of PSPgo indefferenti has left analysts, who sought out the causes of the commercial flop of the model of free PlayStation Portable UMD. "The price difference between a PSP-3000 had no excuses," said a source Videogame analyst Michael Pachter. "Not much to say about PSPgo. The mechanism is based only on the download has not proved attractive as he thought Sony, and design, although interesting, was not worth spending an extra $ 80.
"The end of PSPgo is not a surprise, in our opinion, since sales were immaterial," said Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets. "The price was a problem but we believe that the main obstacle has been the model based solely on digital distribution, never entirely embraced by hardcore gamers.
Ironically, the launch of PSP Go coincided with the explosion of smartphones, the currently the most popular mobile platforms. " "PSPgo was a failure to push forward the innovation but also serve these experiments," says M2 Research analyst Billy Pidgeon. "Thanks to the lesson PSPgo, NGP platform could be a much more interesting." "I agree with most of the industry, PSPgo was an absolute flop," says Jesse Divnich of EEDAR.
"The console was ahead of its time, a problem that happens often at Sony. In ten years we will remember PSPgo, the first platform based on 100% digital distribution. Was not successful but gave concreteness to the idea of a digital-only environment, something we all think that sooner or later will happen.
