(PSP Launch)
So verkauft sich die PSP in den USA (von IGN):
Just thought i would shoot you guys some feedback on the PSP sales in my area. I'm a retail manager at a Target in the Denver Metro Area. We do the 3rd most business in the state of Colorado for target stores. We received 40 PSP's for the launch and we only sold 10 at yesterday. During Christmas we had people lining up everyday, to see if we got any DS, PS2 or Xbox in. We had only a handful of people really ask about the PSP, it seems to me that most non-hardcore gamers really didn't know the system was coming out. A few parents i talked with didn't even know what it was and was amazed when i showed them it. Just thought i would shoot you guys a heads-up on sales on the PSP in my store.

I work retail, and our store received 60 PSP's and sold 10 the entire day. Outside of hardcore gaming stores, I was curious to find out if that was just an anomaly, or the standard. I actually had many people come up and talk to me about it, but balked at the price of $249.99.
--Jeff L.
Just to let people know, there are still plenty left in San Antonio, Tx. Out of our initial shipment (Target), we got rid of about 20 out of 80. Kind of funny, considering school's out because of good Friday. If there's any left on Sunday, I might pick one up for myself. Checking by the Gamestop in the same shopping center, they had a few left as well.

Just read your article on the PSP Sales, and I must say that here in Indianapolis IN, they are sold out jus about everywhere. A certain store that I won't name ... took TOO MANY preorders even and were out of PSP's for my all my friends preorders! So they all went to the out of the wall location where I got mine (Gamestop) who had plenty, and we all bought them out at once
I had to call around for about half an hour to find PSPs available. Also games selling out here rapidly are Ridge Racer and Dark Stalkers.
--Casey H.
hmm.. the PSP launch at my Wal-Mart went like this. We opened at 7am. 10am we sold one. 11:30. we sold another. 5:00pm. Almost sold one, another customer said "metal gear is a card game" lost the sale. we have 58 units left. great day.
--tom
I think you need to contact stores not on the coastlines to gauge how the PSP is becoming one of the worst launches in history. I'm in St. Louis and this thing is easier to find than a Gamecube right now.
Go ahead, call some Best Buys in the area. Some Toys R US, or Circuit City stores. And then rewrite you're glowing praise to reflect what's really happening.

Thought you might be interested in how the sales were going with the PSP in mid-Oregon. In Eugene, the game shops in the large malls seemed to be completely out, while the Best Buy had plenty, they almost seemed desperate to sell some (at about 4pm). In Albany (about 40 miles north of Eugene), I decided to buy my own system at the Target I worked in at about 8pm, and I was only the 4th person to buy one the entire day. Of course the first one I bought happened to have a dead pixel, so that was quickly replaced.
--DN
I work at a Wal-Mart(sigh) in West Texas and we had plenty of PSP's left today. I personally only sold one, and I think we sold 4 or 5 altogether today. We had MANY calls though to see if we had any in stock. I called all the other stores in my district and they all had plenty. So I think the big retails might be the way to go if the specialty shops start selling out.
--Jeff A.
just for those who are foolish enough to try to sell the PSPs on Ebay for "massive" profit... I looked up PSP and found the first three that sold...
269.99 255.00 237.50
The bottom line is that one sold for $237+$16 shipping=$253 and the others sold for a MAX of about $35 over $250 (with shipping included in that price). In other words, once you take out taxes that the original buyer paid, the cut that Ebay takes out, and shipping costs, the Ebay sellers are coming out with about a MAX of $10, and in some cases a significant loss. You know the seller that sold one for $253 (with the cost of shipping included in that price) is kicking himself. Bottom line, it looks like Sony made just enough so Ebay scammers aren't going to make hundreds of dollars off of their product. You may want to return those extra PSPs you have laying around.

I read the mailbag that Jason replied to, and read where the guy wrote (or typed) about no one buying the PSP...I believe it has sold well so far, but honestly...ok, here's the story. I was going into WalMart to get my job in electronics back (I was a seasonal worker during the holidays, 2004) and I was talking to one of my ex-electronics co workers. She said "Are you here to buy the PSP?" Honestly...I forgot it came out today. I was like "ITS OUT??? OH YEAH!!" And went ahead to look at it. I saw a stock full of PSP's sitting in the glass cases-going nowhere. A sign read "Limit one PSP per household due to shortages" I thought to myself "well that shouldn't be a problem" as I saw NO ONE looking at it and simply passing it buy...seriously, about 10 were gone from the shelves, and this was at about 2:30 pm in the afternoon. The store opens at about 6 in the morning...Sony can't be keeping it on THAT low of a profile where no one's buying it in a local Wal Mart that every one went crazy about the day after thanksgiving for the blitz sale where game boys were only 30 bucks...in other words a lot of people shop there, and a lot of them are gamers. What happened?

Just thought I'd let you guys know that I visited my local Best Buy in downtown Chicago and there were plenty of PSPs to go around. There was a stack of at least 50 PSPs in a display in the middle of the store and this was around 2:00 in the afternoon. After all of the talk of preordering I was surprised that Best Buy (in the busiest part of Lincoln Park) ending up having such a large quantity, especially because they advertised in Sunday's ad about opening early to sell PSPs today. Just thought you'd be interested.
--Matt
I work for a Best Buy in a major metropolitan area in the Midwest and so far sales haven't been very impressive at all. Our store was allocated 150 units and by the end of the night we still had about 100 units left. Our region, consisting of roughly 10 stores still had 1700 units left, that averages about 170 per store. There are 3 other larger stores in our district that were allocated about 300 units and each of them still had between 200 and 250 units remaining. This couldn't be because of people not knowing because 3/4 of our front page ad this week was on the PSP and launch info.
--Carverts
I'm a pretty geeky girl, but for some reason, I wasn't excited about the PSP...until four hours before the American launch. At that point, my friends told me that there was no way I was going to get a handheld for quite some time, what with all the pre-orders and massive lines forming in their cities. Just to make sure, I called the local game stores, and they didn't expect me to have a PSP in my hands anytime soon, either. I gave up, and decided to go to Wal-Mart, where...lo and behold, they were stocking the PSP at midnight. I waltzed in an hour before launch-time and stood in one of the most low-key lines (six people, and I live in a decent-sized college town) I've ever seen for any game or hardware release. A couple other guys walked in twenty minutes before midnight, and every one of us left with a shiny new PSP Value Pack. The sales clerk said that they had 80 of the units. And I learned something new. I think any of my fellow gamers who didn't manage to get a PSP yet should check out some secondary sources. Best Buy, and GameStop, and it might just pay off!

Wieso? Hört sich doch sehr gut an. Nur weil die PSP nicht restlos ausverkauft ist, muss der Launch nicht schlecht sein. Sony muss nicht alle 1 Million PSPs verkaufen, um einen erfolgreichen Start zu haben. Selbst wenn sie nur die Hälfte verkaufen würden, hätten sie einen verdammt guten Start gehabt.The Truth schrieb:
Aber solche Berichte aus irgendwelchen Läden sind meist nicht wirklich aussagekräftig, da damit nur ein Bruchteil erfasst wird. Warten wir die ersten Zahlen ab, dann wissen wir wie der Start wirklich verlaufen ist. Aber dass der Launch der PSP erfolgreich ist, bezweifelt niemand ernsthaft (außer natürlich ein paar Unverbesserlichen).

Ihr hättet gestern um 12.00 Uhr RTL 2 News sehen sollen da haben sie denn PSP Launch gebracht. Und der der als erster eine Erworben hat sagte:
"Ich habe nun etwa 28 Stunden vor diesem Geschäft gestanden nur um erster zu sein, aber was sollst eigentlich warte ich schon ein ganzes Jahr. Nun werde ich nach Hause gehen und den Akku aufladen und für morgen habe ich mir frei genommen damit ich den ganzen Tag zokken kann."
So verückt sind nicht mal die Japaner :o

Blödsinn.
Aber wenn du mit 1 Mio. gerechnet hast, dann war der Launch schlecht.
Ich bleib bei 600k-800k, und das würde in den USA im ganz normalem Rahmen liegen (auf alle Fälle über der PS2 und unter dem GBA).
EDIT: Bilder-Recycling aus dem Gaming-Age Forum:
Der truth ist wirklich so einer der mit einer Million zum Launch gerechnet hat und immer noch davon felsenfest überzeugt ist. Das zeigt er u.a. an seiner mitlerweilen typischen aggressiven Tonart, wenn man nicht seine Meinung teilt. Aber am putzigsten fand ich seine Aussage über den Final Fantasy Advent Children UMD für die PSP. Mit was für einem zusätzlichen Schub der PSP Verkäufe hatte er gerechnet? Ich glaub über +40.ooo Einheiten im Vergleich zur Vorwoche oder?
Oder wie hatte er nochmals reagiert als ich meinte das ein Final Fantasy Advent Children Release nahe der Weihnachtszeit (so gegen Oktober anfang November) nicht auszuschließen ist, weil Verschiebungen nicht selten sind? Da hatte er sich auch sinnlos aufgeregt und mich angefahren. Naja mitlerweile haben wir fast April und einen genauen Releasetermin gibt es immer noch nicht, aber naja
.
Bin schon gespannt was er zu den neuen NPD Zahlen sagen wird, wenn die Millionengrenze trotz einer kompletten Verkaufswoche noch nicht erreicht wurden. Schließlich "hatte" sich die PSP ja schon am release fast eine Million mal verkauft...

Was soll er schon sagen wahrscheinlich das die zahlen falsch sind!
Wieso bekommen wir aus den USA eigentlich von den Handhelds mehr zahlen am ende des Monats?? Seid wann der Ds draußen ist sind nur mal ende Januar Zahlen gekommen an was liegt das? Bin mal gespannt wenn sie die PSp nicht so super verkauft ob es dann vielleicht wieder keine Zahlen gibt also da stimmt was nicht!

Das ganze hatte eigentlich schon mit dem Dezember angefangen als sich der GBA 2Mio. mal verkauft hat. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt gab es die Zahlen zu den Handhelden immer pünktlich mit den anderen Konsolen. Außerdem verstehe ich nicht wieso in den letzten Monaten die GBA und DS Softwareverkaufszahlen 1. zusammen aufgefasst werden und 2. es davon sogar nur die Top 5 gibt. Schon mekrwürdig imo.

PSP sales 'solid, not spectacular'
Analyst: After one week, specialty retailers are sold out, but others have plenty on hand.
March 31, 2005: 11:54 AM EST
By Chris Morris, CNN/Money staff writer
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Sony's PSP might be a hit with critics, but consumers seem slightly less enthusiastic about the portable gaming machine.
Only 50 of 150 retailers surveyed by American Technology Research reported sell-outs of the PlayStation Portable in its first week. Analyst P. J. McNealy described the launch as "solid but not spectacular".
Of the 100 stores AmTech surveyed that were not sold out of PSPs, 15 reported having three units or less. Others reported higher levels, with some having as many as 100 in hand.
"We believe that the PSP has come close to shipping its target 1 million units in North America, with a range of 475,000 to 575,000 sold to date in the U.S. with roughly another 250,000 to 300,000 in the channel," wrote McNealy, who said he still believes Sony will sell 4.5 million to 5.5 million PSPs in North America this calendar year.
Sony (Research) has not released any official sales numbers for the PSP.
The Nintendo DS, which many say the PSP competes with, sold 500,000 units in its first seven days on the market in North America. The DS, however, went on sale during the 2004 holiday season which is typically a much busier sales period.
Specialty retailers, such as GameStop (Research) and Electronics Boutique (Research), are generally sold out of the PSP, according to McNealy.
Many big box stores, such as Wal-Mart (Research) and Target (Research), received more PSPs than they had been expecting and still have inventory in many locations. Other retailers, such as Toys R Us (Research) and Circuit City (Research), he wrote, still have inventory.
"We are hesitant to draw any macro-level conclusions about the success or failure of the PSP and impact on the video game publishers simply because we are only seven days into the PSP launch in North America," said McNealy.
"To put this in perspective, while the PSP has been launched amidst much hype, the expected financial impact on the video game publishers for the March quarter has been minimal and, in our opinion, is more of a case of headline risk than actual material impact right now," he wrote.
