The PSP Go was a MAJOR flop. We need to talk about it.

It's sold only 64.4k so far...

Source?  I recall several reports here on VGC that it sold more than that in the first week, to the tune of 30K in Japan alone.

Also, Sony sells to retail, not to consumers.  The number shipped (i.e. sold to retail) is likely far, far greater than that number.

The source is Media Create, so Japanese sales. It's currently being outsold by the 360 over there and that's pretty telling how successful the PSP Go is.

So... its sold 65K... in Japan ...thusfar, and that's the basis for the "flop" argument.  I missed that interesting qualification, in AlkamistStar's statement, I'm afraid.

Also... 360 sales in Japan aren't exactly an indicator of anything, anywhere else.  I don't think your assumption that PSP Go sales in Japan are going to be an indicator elsewhere is a reasonably founded assumption either -- your use of 360 performance in Japan, in your argument, is a great, and ironic, example.

Just by your responses you sound sour, lol. Give it a rest. The source was in the OP, if you bothered to read. Also, the reason bdbdbd gave is a great point. Everyone knows the Japanese people LOVE the next new thing, especially handheld gaming. From Gameboy, to Neo-geo, to DS, to PSP...but the PSP Go...a product from Sony of all companies...nothing (at least nothing to speak of). Yes, i personally consider a new handheld with Sony's brand slapped on it sold at 64.4k in Japan in close to 2 months a flop.
