The PSPgo launched in Japan on Sunday, and the results seem to be relatively mediocre. Andriasang is reporting, via Japanese tracking service Enterbrain, that the download-only console only sold 28,275 units on day one, despite a heavy push from retailers and downloadable releases of major RPGs such as Persona 3 Portable and Dissidia: Final Fantasy Universal Tuning. In comparison, the DSi's launch in Japan went far better, with the console moving 170,000 units in a two-day span last November.
However, one factor that may have contributed to the console's launch trouble was its launch date. Consoles usually launch on a Saturday, never on a Sunday. Even so, it'll be interesting to see if the PSPgo can get out of this funk.
