Not a flop at all. If Sony make $100 off of each Go sold they just made $3 million in a week in Americas alone. Even if they make half of that off of the Go, they took in $1.5 mill. Not bad at all. I don't see much legs, but that isn't what this was intended for. It was mainly just to test the waters of DD and make Sony a quick buck.

When you have lost $3 billion on the PS3, 3 million is merely a drop in the bucket.

Of course 3 million is a lot to you and me, but in the grand scheme of things it's not that much. Wii Fit probably made more money this week than PSP Go.


This

plus R&D and some other expensive stuff



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

You guys should probably wait until the real numbers show up, before making any "flop" decisions.

+70-80K WW per week, on top of an existing 80-100K WW, for a 5-year-old architecture... that's pretty good in my book.

DS sold 400000 last week. 30000 is a big flop for a new updated handheld. GBA Micro sold roughly 250000 in it's first week and was considered a flop at the end of it's sales.

30K is US only, I believe, and its only the PSP Go, not the combined PSP-3000 and PSP Go.

You're comparing apples to entire orange groves.

I would expect at least an 100000 increase WW from last week psp total sales, any less and it gets the big floppy.

Come on, these numbers are USA only. I think there is an article around here claiming a 120% increase on PSP total weekly sales compared to last week.

Petty horrible launch numbers, and they'll only get worse with word of mouth I'm afraid. What the the Virtual Boy sell at launch I wonder?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

How much did the slim redesign or the DS lite sell at relaunch, I wonder? This console just isn't going to sell that well, and it didn't start off selling that well either. You deny it?
