SCEA corporate communications director Patrick Seybold has told Gamasutra that in the three days since its launch, the PSP Go has caused a 300 percent week over week increase in US PSP platform sales. Revenue from PSP games purchased on the North American PSN also got a “significant increase” of 200 percent.

Seybold also noted that with several high-profile PSP titles launching in the coming weeks, Sony is confident that the momentum will continue all the way through to the holiday season.
