The DSi is a Nintendo DS game player with added functionality.

The GBA Micro is a GBA game player for those who don't want to carry a brick on them.

The PSPGo is a PSP game player with added functionality. Minus the PSP games that you bought on UMD.

their loyals fans that enjoy getting screwed by Sony, even if they are told they are going to pay a lot more for early adoption, that none of their games work, that European buyers are getting 3 free games and the online store is way more expensive than physical media.

I think Nintendo's approach beats the hell out of Microsoft's approach to criticism. I still am annoyed at that BBC YLOD 'documentary' that just happened to be presented by a paid MS shill.

The DS is an awesome system. It's not like the PSP... they are smart to sort of steer clear of eachother, but the iphone is clearly a competitor to both.

The PSP go is a good music player when compared to a iPod Shuffle. It's a great movie player. It's not as good for games for me... I don't like where the stick is located, but I think it's a much better size. I LOVE the idea of a digital only platform for wealthier gamers who have internet wherever they go.

That's who the system is for, Nintendo. It's an experiment, and priced so as not to cost Sony money when it obviously doesn't sell super great (though it's selling pretty well so far, compared to my expectations).

Sony is wise to gamble a lot less, but enter carefully into the digital only market. I don't really see why everyone bashes the PSP Go for costing more than the PSP. The iPod costs more than competitors with more functionality... but is a cleaner cooler package. The PSP go is a cleaner cooler package for PSP. It's just a pricier option.

Nintendo knows they won this war, but they also know the PSP 3000 ain't going anywhere. Sony doesn't have to offer just one choice.]]>Oct 12th 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/
A) that's good. Sony sells more games.

b) who's the idiot who replaces their PSP with a PSP go? The PSP Go is for people who either don't care about replacing their old library, or never had one because they are new to this.

That's something a lot on the internet are complaining about, but it's no shame that Sony didn't buy everyone free games (that we could easily pirate by passing around UMDs. That would have been asinine. Sony's sales boost proves they made a good move. ]]>Oct 12th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/

+1 for making this awesome point. It's not like you have to upgrade and for a new psp user this makes sense. Both consoles are still supported so people complaining are not making a lot of sense. I have a dsi and for the record nintendo's online store (and browser) is a joke. ]]>Oct 12th 2009 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/
The potential of DSiWare is also good, but until some good games materialize on it that's just potential. Right now there are about 3 games actually worth buying (for me) on it but obviously as more games come out it will be more useful. I hope they open up DSiWare to useful applications as well, because it would be nice to have an actual email client on my DSi but not critical. Flipnote studio is also a pretty cool/fun toy, although I don't use it much myself. The entire OS is 10x better than on the DS Lite, just all the little things like hot-swappable cartridges, soft reset to main menu, not requiring you to shutdown after any settings change, etc. On the whole, I don't think it's really worth $170, but it is a decided improvement over the DS Lite. If I had a GBA collection, I would probably not have gotten it, but I don't.]]>Oct 12th 2009 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/Oct 12th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/Oct 12th 2009 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/
Speaking of GBA micro, wasn't it basically nintendo's version of the go? A small gaming device to carry on your person at all times... idk it just seems kinda hypocritical of Reggie to hate on the go, especially since the GBA Micro didn't sale very well either XD]]>Oct 12th 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/Oct 12th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/
It's a legit comparison.

Your wii doesn't support Ocarina of Time, either. Unless you download it.

Why should Sony operate under different rules from the rest of the industry. You bought a UMD, you play it on an old PSP. If that is important, then buy a replacement PSP 3000 or stick with your old PSP. Sony has offered you the choice to abandon UMDs, carts, etc forever. That's your choice, though.

and yes my Wii does support Ocarina of Time. i have it on a GameCube disk that i got when i pre-ordered Wind Waker. check your facts next time.]]>Oct 12th 2009 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/
No, we'd still be having this discussion. It really doesn't matter what Sony does at this point, people will find something to hate on.

PSP1000 released:
"WTF is this UMD bull? Don't you know everything is going digital download?"
PSPGO released:
"WTF... no UMD? We loved lugging around bags full of those crazy little discs! For shame, Sony."


As for me. I tried the DS, but found it just to be aimed at too young of an audience I guess. 99.9% of the games are crap, or made for babies, or almost good but dumbed down for kids therefore they drive me crazy. The PSP just fits me better, and I've been buying the games over PSN as soon as it was an option, so making the switch would be no big deal for me. Besides, I don't really go back and play my old games much anyways.

On top of that I find Reggie's attitude to be really distasteful. Not that it would really skew my purchasing decisions. But a public figurehead should be more respectful IMO.]]>Oct 12th 2009 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/>if it had a UMD slot we would not be having this discussion.

If it had a UMD drive then it would be big, bulky, and cumbersome like the PSP-3000. Really, we don't need another PSP with a UMD drive. The PSP-Go right now is around the size of an iPhone, which is the whole point. The Go is a small device that's suppose to tie in with the PSN store. The system is only a little larger then the GBA Micro. And that's saying a lot.

If your UMD collection is an issue for you, then the PSP-3000, and the rumored PSP-4000 is the right solution for you. No fuss, no muss. Pass on the Go, it only an option, but for folks such as me who have hated the PSP all this time for the bulky, loud, slow, UMD drive the Go is awesome.]]>Oct 12th 2009 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/
sure there's that initial stage where all of our old UMD's are useless, but chances are, if you have a bunch of umd's, you also have the system that you bought to play them with. and if you seriously bought a bunch of umd's to play on sony next portable console that may or may not have umd support, i dont think you have enough mental credit to bitch in the first place.]]>Oct 12th 2009 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/
Why should Nintendo's Wii support the old N64 Cart? Why should Nintendo give me a free copy of OCarina on a disc or by download just because I bought the game for my N64? No game company follows such a practice.

The PSP Go doesn't have to support my UMD games. Most of the good ones it does support in the download format, which is exactly how Nintendo supports its classics... it chooses some for download sale.

Instead of pedantically searching for some excuse to claim victory, just admit it... the PSP Go shouldn't give out free games to people who claim to own the UMD. It shouldn't be able to read UMDs in some half assed way. Sony still sells great PSP 3000s for people who value UMD game compatibility. This is manufactured outrage. No one realistically bought a PSP Go hoping to play their UMD games, and therefore, Sony did nothing wrong.]]>Oct 14th 2009 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/nintendos-reggie-fils-aime-says-the-psp-go-has-a-fundamental-c/What's the benefit?

absolutely right, that's a good point, but neither i or aznjohnny said anything about already existing/purchased games. we're talking about going out and buying a new product...if on the market for a portable music device, i, for one, will not go out an buy a discman just because i want something cheaper and has physical media. what if i don't want to worry about having the UMD drive break or not recognize the disk (which i have seen happen)? what if i don't want to worry about my disks getting messed up/scratched?
