Japan: PSP slaps Wii/DS down to size

It seems Sony's recent push to drive up PS༺P sales is working - last week, the console utterly o𝔍wned both DS and Wii in the hardware charts.

73,702 PSP consoles were plucked from Japanese stores in the week ending Marcꦍh 2, according to Media Create figures - a massive 20,000 more ꦕthan the previous week.

This blew both of Nintendo's usually dominไating consoles out of the ball park, with 51,922 DS units sold, and Wiiജ selling 64,535 consoles.

We can't say we're surprised. While it's been pretty quiet on the Nintendo side, Sony has been throwing announcements out at a rapid rate, with澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skype for PSPlaunching, multiple new PSP colours announced, new perip💛herals, as well as Koei game Musou Orochi doing well for the handheld, holding seventh in the software charts.

Top spot on the softwar🧸e charts has also slipped free of Nintendo's vice grip, with Gundam Musou Special nipping i💮n ahead of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

PS3, meanwhile, trailed with 13,520 sales in the same wee♋k, PS2 managing 10,986, and, of course, Xbox 360 nipping in with just-got-out-of-bed 2,282.
