GamesIndustry.biz has reported today that Sony is noting that the newly launched PSPgo handheld is selling 'in line with our expectations,' as well as helping a boost in PSP-3000 sales.

"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 Sony Europe.

The company also noted that PSP-3000 sales saw a boost from added consumers in stores as well as the release of Gran Turismo and FIFA 10.

"PSP software sales also having been a standout with both new releases GT PSP and FIFA 10 performing well," added Sony.

Sony later added that overall sales of PSP hardware, all models, was up 120 percent week-on-week.

Ha ha...I wouldn't be impressed unless I knew what their "expectations" were.

i think they were expecting at least one more guy to buy the thing besides their CEO

Nah. I'm betting it will be just like the PS3 launch. Like the PS2 launch. Like the PS1 launch. And like all console launches really..

They start off with a stupidly large price, which only true technophiles can afford. Then they drop the price by a massive percentage and then normal people then start buying it. Expectations probably aren't that great if Sony had any realism built in. =P

They do have that Gran Turismo pack out now, so a lot of people could well be getting it, driving PSP3000 sales up.

On a side note, how did they come up with 3000?
