Enterbrain CEO: PSP Go is worse than WonderSwan
Enterbrain CEO Hirokazu Hamamura is not mincing words when talking about the PSP Go. In not so many words, he’s not a fan. Oh, and he thinks it sucks worse than WonderSwan.

Wonder what? For those of you who are not aware of this particular handheld, we don’t blame you. It was maufactured by Bandai, released in March of 1999 specifically to compete with the Neo Geo Pocket Color and Game Boy Color and basically went down in quiet flames.
So, back to Hamamura and the PSP. Speaking at a marketing seminar, the CEO expressed his discontent with how the PSP Go was designed. He said it was worse than WonderSwan and that the system’s cramped design scheme was just not gaming-friendly. This posed a particular concern for Hamamura because of the popular Monster Hunter games.
It just so happens that Hamamura views Monster Hunter 3 to be the best-selling PSP game of all time, and with an expectation of 5 million copies sold over its lifetime, it’s really unfortunate that the game can’t be maximized to its full potential because of design shortcomings from the end of the PSP Go.
Somehow, I don’t think the CEO is the only one shaking his head at the plight of the PSP Go. Maybe that’s why we’re hearing talks of a new PSP 2?
