wow @ psp, its on a roll

[The Teej]

While PSP is on top, the only thing that's down is the PS3. Weird...

[Nightz]

PSP is on top because a new color was introduced (mint green i believe). if i remember correctly, the silver PS3 and Yakuza 3 are out this week, as well as the arcade 360. let's see if any of those will bump up the hardware numbers.

Well done PSP!

You're like a rollercoaster with the DS though, one week on top, next below, two weeks on top, three weeks below :laugh:

GoW is out as well, that might have helped boost sales!

I'm surprised that PSP is doing so well.

For a while, it looked like PSP stood no chance.

PSP been above DS for a few weeks now, and even the Wii on occasion!

PS3 sales are pretty poor though.

[-Clark-]

ps3 sales are sub-par in japan based on the lack of japanese titles. sure theres tons of maddens, racing, anything ea makes. but you can get that on *any* console. so they will go for wii. they need to put out titles that will attract the masses. unfortunately there isnt much being put out in japan for the big players(360/ps3) that will attract people to a more expensive console.

wii has some decent games.

portables of course will always sell wonderful. wii just puts something new on the market for all age groups. ps3 and 360 are just boring for casual gamers. no one wants to spend tons of money on a huge system if they have no intentions of doing much but play a few games.

not saying any of the systems are failures. though ps3 isnt exactly as appealing, but ill eventually pick one up and probably a 360. but for now my psp and ds take up my time. with occasional wii'ing.

portable is in. oversized systems aren't.

wii is special!!!!!!!!

Just to let you know,that not everybody understands that damn japanese writing :D

[AlphaPrime]

Yeah, that's why I post the numbers here so you don't have to visit M-Create.

Sony needs to release a slim PS3 there or something, even if it's not a huge difference like the PStwo. It really helped the PSP over there with the slim and light.

[AlphaPrime]

Uhh... which ones are the right ones?

Audioboxer posted Famitsu numbers, mine were Media-Create (which are the ones that usually get posted here). Famitsu numbers come a day or so before M-Create, but I've heard M-Create should be a bit more accurate. Either way the numbers aren't too different.

[The Teej]

Oh ok, thanks.
