Concept was cool, execution was awful.
Broken slide mechanism aside, going all digital and having a proprietary memory card (which was different from their previous proprietary memory card) meant it was doomed at the start.
Sony also never clued in to the fact that 4 shoulder buttons are superior to 2, even on a handheld.

Agreed on the poor execution. Going all digital was a mistake, but only really since it was like 6 years before it really would've gone well. There were just a few too many classics on the PSP you just couldn't play without hacking it.

Although to be fair, they couldn't really slap extra shoulder buttons on the Go, since it was supposed to just be a variant of the PSP. And the OG PSP memory cards at least worked in some other Sony products, since like everything was proprietary in the early 2000s. My camera and PSP shared memory cards.
