I am using the Wii browser, so I can't copypaste a link. Type "The PSP Go was a major flop" into the forum search engine. That thread includes a link in the OP which will lead you to sales that were reported by MediaCreate.

You cannot base a flop on the first week release can you? As far as I know nobody have a breakdown or even the whole figures of Go VS normal since the release of the Go.

I'm not sure how ignorant you are but there is a break down of PSP GO sales in Japan each week from Media Create or Famitsu.

lol, is knowing media create or famitsu sales breakdown part of a test to determine is someone is ignorant or not? Should I say you are ignorant because you would not be able to do my job? Anyway im going to take a look on those site because ive never saw this breakdown anywhere. Thx for the link but you should get ban.

If you actually tried to look for it as Rol suggested, you would find the numbers instead of making that post.

PSPGo (Media Create)
01/18-01/24    1.773
01/11-01/17    2.027  
YTD                  10.543
LTD                  82.395

Well error happen, like I posted previously I thought he was talking about a thread I already read about the first week numbers. Thats also why I said I was sorry to him...

 

Edit: and next time im wrong, just post me a link instead of saying im ignorant lol

I agree lolstopable. PSP doesnt have a Good library. Most of the games you can get it on home consoles. Sony failed on making a handheld.

@jer cutter

That is actually right. It did screw up my post and I can't use any of (the now standard on most sites) text editor stuff. I can't quote posters, can't create threads, or message people, some sites have improved to the point the PS3 only gets the "your browser is not supported or out of date".

I dislike pc games. Keyboard and mouse controls are not comfortable to me. I just wish Sony would get off their ass and update the damn thing.

Having my PS3 replace most of my other devices is becoming an inconvenience. Which I find very ironic for a machine that "Only Does Everything".

BAZINGA!

With a UMD drive, yes? :P

so people can pirate games? yes sounds like a great idea.

and?it would sell better with UMD...i want a Go but not without UMD...and pirate...if a hacker want to pirate the games than he will buy a normal PSP so in the end it doesnt care if it comes with or without UMD!

without the UMD drive you get better battery life... if people want UMD they should release a separate attachment for it. I do not want physical games myself, sadly im stuck with my PSP 3000 due to me reviewing PSP titles for this site and all copies are UMD based.

Well the PSP Go without a UMD drive gets about the same battery life as a PSP 3000 with a UMD drive.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/06/psp-go-battery-life-discussed-new-cables-confirmed.ars

"We have adopted an embedded battery to realise a smaller and lighter PSP system," Grant explained, leaving out the boost this design decision gave to anti-piracy measures. "The battery life is equivalent with the current models meaning approximately 3 to 6 hours for gameplays and approximately 3 to 5 hours for playing back videos."

Though if they did want to relaunch the Go with a UMD drive they would have to include a better battery otherwise it would perform even worse compared to the 3000 if they were both equipped with UMD drives.

No. They were that.

Now they are something else. Except the PSP.



drop it to $99 and around £79 as the system is cheap as chips for them and sales will BOOM! any money they loose will be made back off the store anyway
the PSP needs a price drop anyway its been at its current price for years and if they want good sales they need to drop the price.
with massive marketing (world wide) and the very attractive price it wont beat DS but there is a possibility os PSP hitting 100mil before its done.

but its sony...so $175/ £179 probs......move along people...sony dont want mass market they want debt



What, exactly, is a 'relaunch'? Is that just industry speak for 'we're going to try advertising harder'? It's already out. They can't make any more out than it already is.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

why do you hate the psp go so much. because you cant play pirate games?

Was that aimed towards me?

nope, but 90% of psp owners seem to be hackers, nerds and whiners . thats why sony should leave the handheld market.

Or they could create a handheld with some decent security and not as accessable to PC's.

The DS isn't any different from the psp. Console games on a smaller scale, having a touch screen doesn't change that fact.
