Oh my... how everything changes. Now people are saying that is not a flop b/c of the money it makes? I'll remember that

Well, ask apple share holders if they care about Mac marketshare or units sold?

Unit sales only matter in discussions of "flop" when they directly correlate to companies bottomlines. Thus, the PS3 selling poorly correalted poorly to Sony games divisions because:

A) it was sold at a loss

B) home console hardware profits are largely dependant upon software and accessory adaption

C) A and B combined mean Sony selling consoles for a loss at a lower amount doesnt give them a large base ot buy software which means the profits dont exist.

If Sony makes more money per digital download from PSPGo users and they make money from each PSP sold, the units sold are nothing more than forum fodder.

This is why many people here with a grasp on the purpose of the PSPGo are not so quick to point to it being a flop after one region, one week.
