PSPgo vs. iPhone/iTouch: Are the Comparisons Warranted

Many people just have a hard time remembering why a product was created in the first place. Here is a easy way to put it.

PSPgo: Primarily a gaming device.

iPhone: Primarily a phone.

iTouch: Primarily a MP3 player.

These comparisons are getting old. It is almost as bad as comparing the PlayStation 3 to the Xbox 360. They just shouldn’t be compared. They both have their shares and places within the gaming market, yet people continue to compare them just because they are both consoles. They both have distinct libraries and different abilities over one another.

It isn’t just hardware either, same thing happens in software. inFamous got compared to Prototype, even though the only thing they had in common were they were open world. Resistance 2, Halo 3, Killzone 2, and every other first-person shooter gets compared to one another.

There is no huge reason that any of these should be compared to one another. Yes they do share some titles between the Minis, but that is about it. They each serve their own individual purpose. But if one had to be chosen overall the PSPgo is better overall in the library, it just lacks in phone capabilities, but this is where Skype comes in. When it’s all said and done it all comes down to personal opinion and taste. It is up to you as a consumer to choose which product is right for you based upon your needs and wants.

So out of the three, which one is right for you?
