Saw this over at DC-Emu. It covers the period 29th January - 4th February.

Quote:

Japan Hardware sales for the week above

- DS Lite: 146,073
- Wii: 65,740
- PSP: 31,216
- PS2: 18,727
- PS3: 17,540
- Xbox 360: 6,130
- Game Boy Micro: 1,050
- GBA SP: 724
- Gamecube: 306
- DS Phat: 119
- GBA: 28

I was surprised by 2 things... firstly the PS3 figure

and secondly the DS Lite figure

The DS Lite sales don't surprise me. It's a really unique console just suited for Japan, just like the Wii. A Final Fantasy 3 remake was just released for it, so that probably had some say in those figures.

Just goes to show how yet again Nintendo are Owning the games market at the moment. Everything they do seems to be a step in the right direction.
The amount of Wii's and DS Lites have been flying off the shelves.

I'm suprised about the DS lite figure....

But PS3 being half of PSP? Crazy.

I have a feeling that the Playstation is going to struggle this year.

Yep PS3 is surely going to struggle until there's a more diverse range of signature titles. Nothing gobsmacking at the moment to justify the outlay.
