Media Create Japanese hardware and software sales for 04/06 to 04/12: console sales plummet, PSP outsells DSi |
Ó
The combined sales for Nintendo's DS and DSi handhelds still retained the top spot, but the Sony PSP actually managed to outsell the DSi by moving 40,886 units compared to the DSi's 40,673. The DS Lite was in last place with 6,869 (not counting the PS2).
The Sony PlayStation 3 ended up in third place with 16,701 units sold. The Wii dropped down to fourth place, selling only 13,349 units compared to last week's sales of 15,525.
It's still dead last in Japan's 7th-gen home console race, but as I mentioned earlier, the Xbox 360 was the only console - home or handheld - that managed to sell more units this week compared to the last. Xbox 360 sales went up by 2,322 units for a final figure of 10,134 units sold.
On the software side, Capcom's PSP title Basara Battle Heroes debuted in the number one spot with 86,000 units sold. This is probably the reason why the PSP finally eclipsed the DSi in sales this week. The top ten software charts is actually a Sony-centric affair with 3 PSP titles, 2 PS2 titles, and one PS3 game making it into the top ten.
Second place went to another new game: Oboro Muramasa Youtouden for the Wii. The DS game Mario & Luigi RPG 3 dropped down to the third position after spending last week in the number two spot.
And who do we have at number four? The PSP The Best version of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G. Seriously, guys, this is getting ridiculous. I'm not complaining since I'm a great fan of the series, I'm just really curious: how many copies of a game does a gamer really need?

monster hunter is like pokemon since so many people seem to buy every version even though it's the exact same game
It's because of it's multiplayer capabilities
By the chart, PS3 should be third and Wii should be 4th.
Whoops, seems like I made an error here. Thanks for pointing it out, tyrannicdark.
no prob, Karl.
I do my best...lol
