Grimes, my friend, this one's for you:

 

"In the three days since its October 1 launch, Sony's PSP Go boosted U.S. PSP platform sales 300 percent week over week, Sony Computer Entertainment America tells Gamasutra.

"The launch of PSP Go has generated strong consumer interest in the overall PSP platform and the PlayStation Network's digital content offering," says SCEA corporate communications director Patrick Seybold.

SCEA also tells us the launch of the PSP Go has generated a "significant increase" in North American PlayStation Network revenue -- the company tells us PSP game downloads purchased from the PlayStation Store are up 200 percent in the region."

Week over week is they key phrase. For all we know the previous week's sales were awful. We've seen this game before, percentages are meaningless without context.
