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.

Who cares about the crap PSPgo.. Wii only sold 15,028?! That's weird because Wii's are one of the best selling consoles in Japan.

While this may be tru, I'd be willing to bet the decline in Wii sales is down to the fact that most of Japan now already actually own one!

I think you can run homebrew on the Go now too. That's why.

People in Japan don't buy consoles to hack them, but rather to play games.

Me too. I'm thoroughly enjoying playing my Game Boy Advance, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo Entertainment System and Nintendo 64 games on my PSP. :-)

Along with the regular purchased PSP and PS1 games of couse. ^^

True, maybe they're all foreigners that bought them.

Sad to see a Sony device getting sold, for money.

Nintendo and Microsoft too, for that matter.

But mostly Sony. A sad day, indeed.

That previous week was pretty nice, though.

Sony should learn this already before releasing a new system on the market in the future.

PSP GO = CRAP!!! Nyahahahah!

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.
