The newly RELEASED PSP GO! sold 80K......this was hidden within the article.

So EU + NA sales for the PSP GO! week 1 totalled to 80K......

Is this a FLOP or HOT?

I'll say its ok, but the DSi had better sales.

definetely not a flop considering its price...im actually suprised lol

Of course the DSi had better sales. PSP and DS are non comparable and people need to realize that. Before the PSP the closest competitor to Nintendo in the handheld market only got like 5% of the market.

80k excluding Japan (Where i see it being popular) is very good. I only expected 25k weekly.

it sold well considering the doom articles before launch just wait japan they will go nuts for it
200,000 psps in japn first week

Not the flop people expected it to be. That's actually good.

Echo echo cho o o o

The question I'm interested in is how many units Sony needs to ship for it's development costs and marketing will have been covered.

If we'd say Sony makes a profit $100 on every new Go customer, and I'd say that figure is still a bit low, selling 80k units makes a 8 million $ profit so far.


More on topic I'd say not many people are interested in it.

Youre forgetting the game sales though. Now that the middle man is cut out more money goes to sony per game sold. over-all its a better business model for sony and now that those losses are in the past we wont see them in up coming reports.

oh neos i was right again

Sony's margin on the device has got to be quite high.  I think they were content to have the Go be the premium priced product this holiday because the PS3 is down in the mass market range, finally.  They're daring people not to buy a PS3. They obviously weren't trying to move the most Go's possible; if they were, they easily could have priced it lower.

When the Go drops to 199 and below next year, I think sales will really take off.
