If there's a market for premium portable games - and it seems there is - their success via network distribution on desirable network orientated devices shouldn't be unreasonable.
That's exactly it - Sony was their own worst competition with the Go. Everybody looked at it and decided it was a worse value proposition than their existing machine. Selling downloadable games obviously works, they just have to decide how it fits into their model. Hopefully they don't go the cheapo $5 game route as their main portable business.
