    As well as an increase in hardware numbers, game downloads via the PlayStation Store also climbed 200 per cent, according to corporate communications director Patrick Seybold.

    The above is only an excerpt. You can find the full article here.

    Seems like it's going well for the PSP Go. This will surely push digital distribution forward as well.

    I suppose it wasn't really DOA then. Still plan on buying a 3000 over a Go! though.

    Sony will keep the price up for as long as they can, they know consumers will buy the product even at that price. Once it reaches it peak Sony will drop the price to $199 guaranteed. Id expect it to happen sometime during the spring.

    Well, it was the lowest selling system in America as is wasn't it? So not sure about how great this is.

    Like the guy said earlier about 1 psp sold yesterday vs 3 today. I'll wait till the weekly/monthly sales chart to determine if this 300% is great news.

    Percentages are meaningless without context.

    And you people are forgetting GT: PSP -- as in the same GT: PSP people bought PSP's for four years ago -- was released the same day as the Go. For all we know those are all PSP-3000 sales.
