Hey guys,

I made a poll about the PSP Go. I just checked Media Create numbers for the week ending 12/20/09.

the PSP Go sold 3.2k units and 64.4k since launch. In comparison, the original PSP sold 79k this week and 2 million this year. The DS sold 170k this week (all models).

So, dou you think the PSP Go is a failure?

I don't think Sony expected this do be so bad.

Sony said sales were above expectations. Still, I agree they look low. Now it's a premium product, it's not aimed at the masses and it was never supposed to sell millions.

No, I think that Sony is going to be able to decrease the price of the PSP go in 2010, as they've started to make more of these, they will have a die shrink to the 32nm then, so we may be able to get another $50 off.  I also think that since some reports say that sony will offer online storage , w/ the premium account thing, this will make more people want to use the PSPgo since it wont be limited by a physical storage, for some people.

As it stands right now? Yes.

It just isn't selling that much, simple as that.
Sony had to have hoped for a better start, but, when you launch the PSP go at its current price point...
It's just tough to figure out what Sony was thinking.

'What Sony was thinking' ? Well, it's a premium product aimed at showcasing inovation.

They aimed at improving their brand image, which they did. I love my PSP Go.

This product will in turn help selling other Sony products. That's the way it works.

Yes. Anybody that bought that thing has completely wasted $250. I don't know what else to say. It was expected to be a failure, and it was. They need to drop the price immediately, or just discontinue it. As soon as I heard about it, I knew it was going to fail, and I was right.
It should never have been released in the first place. What was sony thinking?

What we need now is a PSP:Go Slim :)

Oh and the price cut!

I don't understand all this hate. I love my PSP Go, it's sexy, it's portable, the screen is great, you don't need any stupid UMD disks...

Sure, it's expansive, I guess that's why people hate it so much, they can't buy one.

And of course it helps brand image, it's a beautiful piece of technology, it shows Sony can make small and beautiful products.

Sony needs too quit being dumb and Drop the Go's price to $180-$200 , i would buy one immediately , and i know A ton of people who would do just the same. i Bet sales would Jump 500+% and they would sell more Go's in ten days then they did from Sept-Jan

Sony were expecting GT PSP will move alot of numbers, but it didn't , it needs a price cut.... a huuuuuuuuuggggge one.
