The days of Sony’s portable “experiment” — the PSPgo — may be numbered. According to a blog with supposed connections to Japan’s Sony Shop, the company has ceased production of PSPgo units.

Adding credence to that report is a product listing on Sony’s official storefront, which has placed the PSPgo under the category of “backordered” or “discontinued.”  There’s no indication as to when new stock will arrive, if ever.

Straight out of the gate, the PSPgo has always been a bit of an odd case for Sony. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware, hampered by a relatively high price and missing UMD to PSN conversions. With the NGP’s Q4 arrival approaching, we’re not surprised to see its shelf-life end abruptly — if this is indeed a case of them pulling the plug.

It’s a shame that price cut never materialized.
