Why all of a sudden after launch people had SW type expectations? Just a few weeks ago people were saying PSP Go won't sell. Now it sells more than the 3000 did last week... 30k is hardly a flop.

Because it was a launch day system and for launch day that is very low. (the PSP launched in December 2004...)

Esp now that some UK retailers already lowered the price since they refuse to order any more units. (most retailers do that until they run low on stock... not exactly unusual)

I am fairly sure Sony sent out like any good console maker would shipped at least  200+ thousand units or more but only sells 30,000? (you forgot "in the US".. kinda major omission, wouldn't you say?)

even the total flop GBA Micro did better. PSPgo is in a very similar situation. (not really... Nintendo had a monopoly at the time, and it didn't offer distinct new features, other than a smaller size.  Also, the GBA micro sold well its opening day.  It only "flopped" later because Nintendo's own DS trounced it in the rest of the world)
