PSPgo Sales in Japan
So PSPgo is out in Japan, and just how are the sales of the portable console?
Sony’s latest update to the PSP, the UMD-less PSP Go, has done even worse in Japan than it did overseas, shifting a risible 28,275 units on its release day.
140,000 units of the PSP-3000 were sold within 4 days – so why not for the PSPgo?
This could be due to the availability of games available for customers. My friend who wanted to purchase a PSP, intially wanted to buy the newer unit, PSPgo – he changed his mind after realising that there isn’t much games available for him to buy on the store! (I have not checked the PS Store yet, but I do know that the unit on the whole isn’t selling like hotcakes :3) And Optic who wanted to GO with the PSPgo, isn’t GOING with it already. Lol. I was so against him getting a PSPgo!

“:3) And Optic who wanted to GO with the PSPgo, isn’t GOING with it already. Lol. I was so against him getting a PSPgo!” LOLOLOLOL
There u GO again, having another GO at me. LOL
Clearly I didn’t know about the sale figures during that time because the PSP-go was recently out. As a person like myself who never owned a PSP, getting the GO was somewhat the right choice as I won’t be picking up games from sony back category and will be picking up new games like for eg. VC2.
Off course, now since I got my head straight, I will be picking up a new laptop soon as I want a portable computer to take with me for work next year. So in conclusion, no PSPgo or 3000 anymore. I already have a DS Lite and I’m already finding it hard to give playtime to it. Still need to finish off Fire Emblem. >_>
PS: I blame guu for this madness. He’s the culprit that drove me into this PSP madness. He’s is the POISON and I will take care of the ‘poison’ when I’m there. ><

Probably the main reason why the PSPgo isn’t doing so well is the fact that if you already owned a PSP why would you want to repurchased all your games again? Most PSP owners already own games in UMD format which the PSPgo doesn’t have. The PSPgo is only good for those who never owned a PSP before and have access to the internet to download the games, otherwise you’d be better off with the normal PSP.

It was a pretty stupid idea anyways, i think.
I agree with the fact that no-one who has a psp allready, with a fair amount of games should even bother considering this purchase, but it should, also, not be bought by non-psp-owners anyway due to the lack of games, and the fact of you downloading one of the 30 something games available (last time i checked) could well take the amount of time the warranty takes to wear off….
Just silly idea really, but the GO is fashionable, i’ll give it that.

That is one pimped hand-held, gotta say. :)

@ Optic: bring your DS Lite over for me to play ~~ LOL
@ scsa20: there are fanboys who want to have every single console available, it’s just human nature. I don’t see the harm in changing into a new unit. I changed PSP-1000 to PSP-2000 because I felt like it. Lol.
@ Vaan Diablo: It’s beautiful, but thats the only pro it has! LOL

[...] launched the new PSPgo into the console market, we would expect sales to rocket but sadly it didn’t. If we look at the hardware pie for just 1 day, we see that the PSPgo actually gets a slice! Yes it [...]
