Why are you quoting first day sales alongside first week sales, again?  Is buying stuff an option only on the 1st day of any week, in Japan?

Kinda looks like the PSP Go might be close to the DS Lite, after the first week.  Boy, was the DS Lite a flop... right?  Awesome logic, jarrod.

As I mentioned earlier, Famitsu gave the dates so people could make their own comparisons, some other platforms in the list also launched on a Sunday (PSP-1000 notably).  And I didn't make the comparison, Sinobi did (Japanese blogger, sales tracker, Famitsu leaker and probably someone with more relevant things to say about Japanese sales than anyone here).

Also...

DS Lite sellthrough: 96%

PSP Go sellthrough: 19%
