Famitsu featured an interesting news story pertaining to the PSPgo today. The system launched November 1, 2009 in Japan, and Enterbrain already has the first day sales figures for Sony’s latest incarnation of the PSP. Brace yourself - only 28,275 PSPgos were sold at launch. A PSPgo costs ￥26,800 (~$296.17) in Japan.

That number isn’t all that impressive when you compare it to sales figures for other portable system incarnations. As AndriaSang pointed out, the DSi and PSP-3000 were bigger sellers. IGN reported that in the first two days of the DSi’s launch in Japan, 170,779 DSis were sold and AndriaSang reported 141,270 PSP-3000s were sold in the first four days after it was made available in Japan.

Overall, the PSPgo wasn’t a resounding success at its launch in Japan, but it wasn’t atrocious. It’d be better to check back and see the sales figures for its first month in Japan instead.

Funny, we haven’t heard anything about the first day PSPgo sales figures for North America or Europe. I wonder if the numbers are comparable.
