no offense

but HOW can we say PSP is doing well when it had a new model launch & is down YOY?

No one is going to buy that PSP Go. Sony blew it with that handheld, almost as bad as Nintendo with the awful Virtual Boy.

Riiiight, even though people ARE buying the handheld.

People are buying the handheld, yes, but how many? Certainly not as many as Sony would have hoped for.



I'm all for the GO, I didn't buy the psp because as something I'd want to carry around everywhere I didn't want to bring umd's with me and the thing was too big. But if I had enough money to buy a GO I'd use that money to buy a 360 instead. It's too expensive.

I thought taking out the UMD drive and making the screen smaller would make it cheaper, and that's why I was lookin forward to the GO.

^^ We need to know what they hoped for though. I still say the Go was an experiment, because it can't be going for previous PSP owners. I think it's to see how a DD-only device would work.

Thats true, even so. I am glad the gamers aren't chosing Digital Download only devices (PSP GO). I want to keep the physical media.

I looked at the charts, and it's crazy: in Japan PS3 slightly outsold Wii even in the very week of the latter's price cut. Even crazier considering Wii outsold PS3 WW by more than 80k, more than 30% that week. In Japan in one year period ending 17 Oct, Wii sold more than 30k only 14 weeks, PS3 did it 15 weeks. Total sales still see Wii leading by ~400k total in the same period, thanks to drops less deep during sluggish periods, but nevertheless these partial data of PS3 able to get more than average sales more times than Wii, to generate more times enthusiasm, is impressive, it means that this year Sony did big efforts in Japan, before and after the cut.
