As you’re sure to know dedicated game consoles like the Nintendo DS and PSP have seen a ton of competition from the likes of mobile platforms such as Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. Much of this competition comes from the fact that just about everybody now a days has a smartphone and included within the application stores behind these smartphones are thousands upon thousands of games with very palatable price tags.

Well, it seems that we have our first causality from the onslaught of these smartphone platforms. According to recent reports, Sony has done away with production of the PSP Go. As of now this has not been officially confirmed but reputable retailers including Amazon have updated their PSP Go product listings to say that production for the handheld will soon be discontinued by the manufacturer.

While much of this can be attributed to mobile platforms, it can also be attributed to the fact that Sony is gearing to launch their next generation portable handheld the NGP, commonly refereed to as the PSP 2.

If these reports are true, farewell PSP Go, you unfortunately won’t be missed.

Before we get started, if you missed the trailer that was showcased during Turn 10 Studios’ Forza 3 keynote, be sure to check it out above.

Now, the trailer is amazing itself with all of the cars perfectly choreographed but the real catch is that it was made entirely with Forza Motorsport 3‘s in-game video editor. That’s right, if you had the patience you too would be able to make the above trailer using only in-game footage and software.

But just how much patience would you need? Well, when Kotaku asked the game studio how long it took them to make the trailer they responded with, “About a month.”
