Following yesterday’s convincing rumours that the PSPgo was being dropped from production, Sony have now officially confirmed that this is in fact the case.

PSPgo units will no longer be manufactured or shipped “in order to concentrate on the NGP,” according to Sony. The remaining PSPgo stock will continue to be sold until it’s gone.

A Sony spokesperson said: “It will continue to be sold, and we will keep focusing our attention on it from here on out.”

About bloody time this thing was on its way out.

Thanks to Kotaku for the info.

According to the blog of a Sony Store clerk in Japan, production of the PSPgo may well be ceasing entirely. Andriasang reported that “Sony has confirmed to his sales manager that production on the troubled portable system is indeed ceasing. The blogger’s shop won’t be getting any more shipments.”

It has also been noted that the PSPgo was removed from the Japanese Sony Store games page and that there’s no stock listed for the device or forecast for when any new devices will arrive.

No official statements have been made yet, but it makes sense that PSP will start getting phased out to make way for the NGP. Mind you, considering what a terrible and unsuccessful idea the PSPgo was, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for it to meet its end.

Sid Shuman, the senior social media specialist, said the PSP camera was “designed for pre-Go models only,” and “current camera will only fit onto the larger PSP model”, and there’s “no workarounds”.

There is a rumored peripheral attachment for the Go that might work as a work-around, but it has yet to make its way to the US.

Sony was later on asked about this peripheral, they responded by saying that there isn’t “any information yet on a peripheral attachment for the Go”.

You could however, import the cable from Japan, which should do the trick.
