PSP Go gets sales boost in Japan

Now that the 3DS is out, this would be the last time we check the Media Create charts without the newly-released portable. For now, it seems that people saved up for the 3DS 'cause it's mostly sales dips for the other gaming platforms. The big highlight for this report, believe it or not, is the PSP Go.

Here are the hardware sales for the week ending February 20th:

PSP – 63,330
PS3 – 25,242
Wii – 12,221
DSi LL – 10,037
DSi – 8,022
PSP go – 2,487
Xbox 360 – 2,183
PS2 – 1,863
DS Lite – 973

2,487 units sounds like much, but maybe you should look at how much the PSP Go sold the previous week:

PSP – 106,893
PS3 – 26,766
Wii – 15,028
DSi LL – 12,069
DSi – 10,039
Xbox 360 – 2,118
PS2 – 1,665
DS Lite – 1,003
PSP go - 10

With the respective announcements of the NGP and Xperia Play, plus the price cut on the PSP, it's a little hard to imagine how the PSP Go could make such a surge. More so with the release of the 3DS.

In any case, the 3DS numbers should be in with the next Media Create chart. It should make a pretty big impact on the numbers since it sold like there was no tomorrow. Actually, there really was no tomorrow for the first shipment, since all 400,000 units were sold out within the first 24 hours of launch.

It's nice to see the PS3 sales finally on the up. And WOW at the PSP GO sales of 10.

Thankfully the NGP (while it won't be UMD based) has removable media for its games. This way if they do bring out a slimmer version in the future we can still (hopefully) use our original NGP games.

Fingers crossed the NGP never has a weekly sales figure of 10!

Come on man this is Japan, you could sell a solid gold 360 and sell it for 10 Yen and the Japanese wouldn't buy it simply because they have this cultural bias against all consoles not made in their own country, so you can't criticise the 360 for the problems with Japanese culture.
