Sony confirmed the manufacturing halt to Japanese site AV Watch (via Kotaku), noting that it now aims to “concentrate on the NGP.” The PSP-3000, however, is especially popular in Japan and – unsurprisingly – is in no danger.
"It will continue to be sold, and we will keep focusing our attention on it from here on out,” Sony explained.
On the bright side, the PSPgo definitely wasn't a terrible device, and – on top of last year's price drop – it's probably about to be cheaper than ever. If you're the type that adorns your house with failed technology – like some kind of hunter with more beheaded beasts than wallpaper – now's your chance to add another soon-to-be rare piece to your collection.
