PSP Gone: Sony Kills Off Two-Year Old Console

Sony has voiced that it will no longer make the small PSPgo unstable games console. Speaking to Japanese site Impress, Sony fixed rumors that the console, only over two years old, will be euthanized, and prolongation will cease. Any units still in warehouses around the world will sojourn on sale until they're gone.

The PSPgo is a cut-down chronicle of the PSP. It launched in 2009 and managed to slim down to around half the size of the PSP by ejecting the UMD hoop expostulate and stealing the controls on a slide-out panel.

Why has Sony killed the console so soon? We might never know, but you think that the PSPgo never unequivocally sole very good - the section saw a large cost cut in Japan final October, bringing it from 26,800 ($323) to 16,800 ($203). Add in contest from the cheaper Nintendo DS Lite and the do-anything iPod Touch and you can see that things might have been difficult.

Then again, the PSPgo might only have been axed to make way is to Sony Ericsson PSP phone, the Xperia Play , that is in few instances identical to the PSPgo, and includes a capable Android cellphone, too.

Either way, the small fella probably won't be missed, and Sony has committed to go on soldiering on with the bigger PSP-3000. Good luck, Sony! Now, where's my iPod? I feel similar to a diversion of Angry Birds.
