The PSP platform is performing well below expectations. Not my expectations, Sony's expectations. If the PSP Go wasn't supposed to drive sales, then what was? Because they are going to miss their target by several million. |
link? I'm pretty sure you're not a Sony spokesperson, Grimes. Pretty sure Sony has said exactly the opposite. They didn't lower their forecast for the PSP, now did they?
The underlined is 100% conjecture on your part, based on the fact that you just plain don't know the reasons for the forecast, as you stated in the part of your post that I italicized.
Maybe you should be asking yourself "what would drive PSP sales to the target?" rather than making unbacked claims.

That's exactly what I'm asking myself. How are they going to sell 3.5 million more units in six months than last year?
I don't have an answer. |

Needs to be more mod controll in here. 29k sales in 1 day is solid. That would be about 40-45k the first week and the PSP's sales up to 70k in Japan and about 180k WW.
I wouldn't say this is directed towards a different demographic. It's still directed at people interested in the PSP. It's a different option for consumers allowing them to decide what they want to purchase. Just like the TV example someone brought up. No one would expect a new model of a TV to raise sales... so why is the go any different for you people?
Honestly, I wouldn't know why Sony put their proections so high. When they announced this I never saw it increasing PSP sales. I saw this as people who were going to buy one already decided to go with the premium model instead. Same weekly sales with a percentage of them being Go!
My best guess for this would be that they plan on cutting the price before FY is over. But if that happens you know people will be like "OMG PRICE DROP CONFIRMS GO IS A DROP!" Even though I have been saying all along I full expect Sony to make money on the early adapters for christmas with the higher price tag instead of more sales but less money and then drop the price later. But I expected them to do it in April for the new FY to make their FY look better... |

Eh. In Japan this is very low for a redesign, twice this would be a decent amount. It's actually below my expectations and I didn't expect the Go to be a hugely successful redesign. @letsdance. People saying sales numbers are disappointing, on a site based around sales, doesn't require mod control. It's exactly the type of thing people are meant to say.
