PSP Tops Japanese Sales Charts, Again
Posted by x3sphere at March 21, 2008, 6:53 pm
Once again, the PSP has managed to pull ahead of Nintendo’s Wii and DS according to Media Create sales figures for the week of March 10. This is not a spike in sales. The PSP has been selling consistently well each week, with an impressive 918,997 units sold this year in Japan alone. For comparison’s sake, Nintendo has pushed 926,177 DS units during the same timeframe.
The impending release of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, which is due out later this month in Japan, should help drive PSP hardware sales even higher. Good times ahead for Sony.
* PSP – 57,651

Latest news from Sony is that this is a false report by Sony Fanboys and the Nintendo DS is still a giant in the Sales Charts.
