You know about the PSP Go, right? You know, THIS device:

You'd think it would be a big hit around the world, like a PS3 or Xbox 360, right? Well, how wrong you are! Apparently, it's becoming a BIG flop. I mean, BIG. Sales are absolutely shoddy around the world...

Think that's bad? I'm just getting started! Secondly, I've heard that the PSP Go has already been hacked. Yes, you CAN hack a PSP and have CFW (Custom FirmWare) installed on it to play ROM's, just to name a few things you can do. First off, I don't condone that sort of thing, so don't take your PSP's and do it, alright?
Also, what's surprising it that it was hacked much more quickly than the other PSP's.... What a surprise.

AND, just to add to the insult to injury, in Japan (they always get the good stuff first, don't they?), Nintendo's new DS, dubbed the DSi LL, is absolutely CRUSHING the PSP Go in opening sales. The DSi LL sold 104,000 units in TWO days, which is about DOUBLE than what the PSP Go did in THREE WEEKS. If that's not the most disappointing thing to happen to Sony to date, then I don't know what is.

No frickin' wonder Sony is losing money... They've had to deal with this, and a "apparent" issue with one of it's FW releases for the PS3. The latter, may very well be blamed towards the users who have the first PS3 models (20 Gig, 40 Gig, etc...) It's just crazy, isn't it?
