Why PSP GO Failed?

probably sony should be more creative on the psp products and so in amny cases people should be much more curious about other products that give you somehing of new than the same psp standard..

Well, for one, SONY completely got rid of the UMD slot with the PSP GO. This made many people not want to upgrade, because then they wouldn't be able to play their favorite games. Also, with the ever-expanding game and app library of the iPod Touch (at a somewhat comparable price to the PSP), SONY's having a tough time competing with Apple's innovations. That's just my two cents. :)

Part of the reason surely must be the lack of the UMD slot. At least when upgrading from the 1000 to the 2000 and then the 3000 it didn't mean having to repurchase the entire gaming library that you already had for the system. By removing the UMD slot, they made the PSP GO less of an attraction to existing users, limiting their user base. If they'd had the GO available from the beginning then perhaps it would have been a better option, but by only bringing it out later it was always going to struggle. I know that I, as a gamer, value the physical representations of my games as well. Instruction books or art packs that I order for specific gaming titles and ranges are as much a part of my gaming experience and appreciation as the actual game itself. Also, for some gamers, the ability to sell the games back at the end of their playing life is appreciated and I'm not sure that was available to the GO.
