The PSPgo was a download-only portable system which didn’t exactly see a warm reception by consumers. The good news, indicates Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai, is that Sony learned from the experience.
“It is the first time we have done that with any of our devices, and we did get a lot of feedback, both good and bad,” said Hirai. “I think we need to make sure we have as many titles available to download as possible, to make the experience as easy as possible. But also pricing is perhaps an issue. Because of the cost reductions we’ve been able to do over the years, the traditional PSP has benefited. But the PSPgo is a completely different design, so the cost trend is different.
“Those are some factors. But I’m happy with the results that we’ve seen on PSPgo, including the invaluable feedback that we’ve been getting from our consumers. I think it has done well for us, he added.
