Sony PSP Go suffering appalling Japanese sales?

Rumors of a Sony PSP Go relaunch seem all the more believable this week, as the latest – unofficial – sales figures for the handheld are released in Japan. According to m

arket watchers Media Create, Sony sold a mere 1,275 PSP Go devices in the first week of March; contrast that with Sony’s own PSP, which sold 64,808 devices in the same period.

In fact, in the ten week period between December 28th 2009 and March 7th 2010, Sony are believed to have shifted a grand total of 17,618 PSP Go units. Again, that pales in comparison to the regular PSP, of which 667,961 were sold.
