“I at first thought that the pop-up menu randomly appearing as I played was a glitch, or a symptom of my being distracted while talking, but I soon realized that the smaller PSP Go button layout was causing the problem. Unless I concentrated on avoiding it, nearly every time I hit the X button to jump, I was also hitting the Square button to open the menu. Even actively concentrating on avoiding it I managed to launch the pop-up maybe 1 out of 10 times. It was amazingly frustrating and I wound up stepping away from the demo level before finishing because of it. Gareth helpfully suggested that perhaps we’ll need to retrain ourselves a little for the new device, but that doesn’t seem right, does it? Isn’t intuitive control a hallmark of good gadget design?”

Yes Mike… Yes it is.
