Sony has apparently pulled the plug on production of its PSPgo handheld, according to reports from Japan.
The gossip comes courtesy of Andriasang, which caught wind of the news by what it perceives as a blog run by a Sony Shop employee, “or at the very least a super hardcore Sony fanatic.”
It claims 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."
In addition, the site also notes that the handheld was removed from the Japanese Sony Store game page, with no stock being listed for the device or news on when fresh supplies will likely arrive.
PSPgo hasn’t been performing particularly well in the Land of the Rising Sun, and is frequently outsold by the bog-standard PSP SKU and pretty much everything else on the market for that matter.
Stay tuned for more developments as they break.
