PSP Weekend Warrior: PSP Go or no go?

We’re less that two weeks away from the PSP Go’s launch but it looks like people are still very divided over it. It’s not just the gamers too — even retailers are torn. Some have predicted its failure while a few have even outright opposed the handheld and Sony’s download-only model for it. Sony, on the other hand, seems all set to follow through not only with the Go, but with the PSP brand as a whole, as rumors (and history, really) suggest that there are more hardware iterations in the pipeline. That and more at the PSP Weekend Warrior.
