From the very start, Sony’s PSP Go looked like a non-starter. The handheld game machine cost more than previous PSPs, lacked the ability to play disc-based games and struggled to get retailers to stock it.

According to a report from a Japanese website relayed by Kotaku, Sony has confirmed it will finally let the poor-selling handheld rest in peace, stopping production.

With Sony’s superpowered NGP handheld set for release later this year, it was only a matter of time until the PSP Go became the PSP Stop.
