Sony’s latest update to the PSP, the UMD-less PSP Go, has done even worse in Japan than it did overseas, shifting a risible 28,275 units on its release day.
Famitsu’s pathetically bought off hype-mongering had suggested the model might sell in the region of 150,000 units – the PSP 3000 did indeed manage 140,000 units in Japan in only 4 days.
With the prospect of having to repurchase any existing games, the unit not having any compelling advantages over the PSP, and with retailers hating it for its potential effect on in-store game sales and the razor thin margins typical of consoles, its failure was none too hard to predict.
About the only nice thing anyone has had to say about the unit is that it has a very nice screen, but sadly for Sony’s marketers it is almost impossible to demonstrate this difference photographically without resorting to improbable Photoshops…

The PSP numbers also include the bigger PSP 3000 sales, which it seems to have been spured buy the fail PSP Go (so I guess PSP Go was good for something. Everyone who really wanted one has a Wii.

your obviously the airhead. You really didnt take in that most people rejected that statement. The 360 is where it is because of its own faults, not solely because of another console. The PS3 is superior in its own means and that cannot be argued.
go is overpriced right now
i might buy one in the future, when pirated
well, it looks sexy that’s why
same with ps3 — im started waiting like, when the ps3 first released! and until now…
I liked the idea of the Go, but I think it should have been way cheaper. I really don’t even carry UMDs around anymore because the optical drive kills the battery way faster than just running off my memory stick. I might buy a Go when the price comes -way- down.
