The PlayStation Portable might be doing well in Japan, but the same cannot be said in the United States. The system’s sales have dropped off a metaphorical cliff in the US, with sales down 58% from last year. This includes both the PSP-3000 and the rubbish PSPgo.
100,000 PSP units were sold this January, according to the latest NPD data. Compare that to 2009, when Sony shifted 172,000, and we’re looking at a 58% sales drop. I guess the American market just wasn’t ready for an innovative new PSP that forced high game prices, dropped functionality, and couldn’t even improve the system’s outdated Wi-Fi connectivity despite marketing itself as a digital platform.
Oh well. Maybe this year’s inevitable PSP rehash will improve things.
