I agree, about Sony's strange albeit half hearted strategy when it comes to the PSPGo. They have had a difficult bout with Nintendo over the portable market, and now they seem to want to split what marketshare they do have. I think you're right about retailers wanting to push the PSPGo, Giving them a healthy markup is the only logical reason why they would try and push it. Since most, like my Gamestop have lots of unsold, used UMD's lining the PSP section. I have an original PSP, and I also do a lot of digital downloading. You really can't beat some of the prices. Like Prinny, for just $10.00. But I think the market isn't quite ready for an all digital game system, yet. Great post.
