The PSPgo has a number of hooks, one of which  is that the handheld eliminates the need for a UMD drive in favor of digital distribution. However, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime, believes that the device may have a major issue, conceptually. In more or less words, Fils-Aime said that it’s possible consumers will not be able to fully understand who the PSP Go is for and what new benefit the hardware brings to the table.

“(The PSP Go may have a) fundamental concept problem in terms of ‘Who’s it for?’ and ‘What’s the benefit?’ I have the utmost respect for all our competitors, but it’s interesting to try and answer the consumer question of ‘What’s in it for me?’ in that product.”

Fils-Aime also addressed the possibility of Nintendo entering the mobile market, but noted that there isn’t an interest in creating a phone:

“We don’t have a desire to get into the phone space. We think the game business is competitive enough.”

Last but not least, Reggie commented on Nintendo’s goal of creating a mainstream video game market and on how Nintendo would not have changed anything regarding the Wii’s launch.

“We’re moving from being a niche market into the mainstream, but we’re not there yet…Absolutely not. We wouldn’t do it any other way.”

Believe it or not, it’s been only about six months since the Nintendo DSi made its worldwide debut. There’s still a ways to go before a DSi-exclusive games come out and DSiWare has yet to reach its full potential. Considering these facts, it would seem a bit odd to make a prediction about another handheld release.

However, Soichiro Fukuda, an analyst at Citigroup in Tokyo, believes that a DS model change may make its first appearance next June. Presently, the DSi is experiencing continued success in the market and by June 2010, the system will only have been out for a little more than a year. Would Nintendo really be willing to show off its next handheld when the time comes?
