Despite lots of skepticism and disinterest surrounding the new model, Sony is proud to reveal that PSP Go sales have met expectations. Believe it or not, the PSP Go has helped PSP hardware sales to shoot up 120% since its launch on October 1st.
“PSPgo has performed in line with our expectations, driving 100 per cent incremental volume for the category and has benefited the broad PSP portfolio with PSP-3000 also enjoying a big lift,” said SCEE in a statement, later clarifying that hardware sales are up 120% compared to the previous week, with the PSP Go selling as many units as the PSP-3000.
As for actual sales figures, GamesIndustry contacted Chart-Track in the UK, only to be turned down. “It’s a new format and we are simply not revealing the figures for public consumption,” said director Dorian Bloch.
Well, the news really doesn’t come as a surprise, seeing as it’s only week one for the Go. Good job on that regard, but question remains whether or not the Go can keep this up long enough to be a success.
