Potential PSPgo Pigments
Consumer survey asks which colours you'd like a PSPgo in.Published 12/11/2009 at 14:00 by Watchful
New PSP colours can often be seen as Sony trying to reinvigorate sales. They have done so with the PSP-1/2/3000s. While no new colours for the PSPgo have been announced Sony do at least seem to be trying to find out which colours people might like to see.
A Destructoid reader has sent in a screen capture of part of a customer survey they were asked to take part in. The image shows PSPgos (or should that be PSPgoes?) in fourteen different colours, including the black and white you can already get buy them in.
Alongside the usual PSP colours like red, blue and pink are some more unusual hues including a very dubious “Lemon”. We are also used to seeing silver PSPs but interestingly that option is not present. Could Sony’s interest in different colours for the PSPgo be a reaction to seemingly poor initial sales? Which would you pick?

i like the pink and bright red ones, but a new colour scheme isn’t gonna persuade me to buy a psp without a umd drive.

Classic games sell consoles. A large quantity of games sell consoles. Potential can sell consoles. Not colours. Colours can expand sales after the games are on the system.

colours easily sell consoles! maybe not the psp, but something like a ds might just be bought cos its pink.

lol really? Are you one of those people? I know of some people that love that they can pick the colour when they get a console, but never met anyone who has brought a console based on the colour of it.

lol i am deffo not one of them people, altho the decision between white or black pspgo was killing me!
im on about the girls who may have herd about the dsi, and then see it in pink and go mental cos they want one cos its pink… maybe cos beyonce plays it too…
btw they will never use it. but still go on about how its better than the psp.
and this annoys me.

True about the pink DSi’s, unfortunately I know a number of girls that went crazy for them just because they were pink then never used them!
So I guess DS got the console revenue but limited software sales from introducing the pink colour. (Based on my very small sample!)

A cheaper price might sell this console!

its too new for a lower price. people who just need to have the newest thing will pay ridiculous amounts of money “innovators” as they are called in our marketing class.
its like the iphone or ipods, people dont give a ship about the cost, they just wanna look ‘cool’

Point is I couldn’t care less about the colour if the price is still extortionate.

Silver or gun metal grey would look good but neither are in there. I still think my Pearl White one is a pretty sexy piece of kit though.

Like all the blue ones and the navy grey one. Silver is good too but I’m happy with my black one.

I see what you mean. I’d be inclined to call it something like “sunshine yellow”.

Lemon is disgusting.
I’d like a nice bright orange or purple PSP… but no.
Stick with black, I think.

I’d have a black, blue or white one. Think I’d go with white

They all look kinda tacky and plasticky.

I suspect that’s as much because they’ll be photoshopped colour variations rather than pictures of actual PSPs.

I’d go with the black if I was getting one, but I’ll be sticking with my trusty PSP1000.
