Grandma likes it big – DSi LL selling better than PSP Go
When it comes to the two newest gaming portables, it seems that Nintendo walked a better path than Sony. Sure, the target market may be different in some respects, with the DSi being aimed to the elderly as well, but when it comes right down to it, the new DSi LL is selling better than the PSP Go.

Stats come from Enterbrain, publisher of the popular gaming mag, Famitsu – the DSi LL outstrips the PSP Go by a sizable amount. Launched November 22nd in Japan, DSi LL sold approximately 103,524 units in its first two days. It’s not as much as the 170,000 approximately hauled in by the smaller DSi, but it’s certainly more than the 28,000 that the PSP Go sold at day one.
No stats available for how many PSP Go units were sold on its second day, but it’s doubtful that it came close to the DSi LL’s. It appears now, despite media devices getting smaller, bigger is better for the DSi LL.
