This Week’s Japanese Hardware Rankings
by Kat Bailey on March 29, 2008
Expect this game to put the PSP at the top next week.
Is anybody else impressed that the Wii has managed to hang with gaming’s portable darlings for so long? Neither of Nintendo’s next-generation competitors have managed to even come close.
In any case, it’s been a virtual dead heat between the Wii, PSP and DS for the past few weeks, with the release of the new Pokemon Ranger game helping the Nintendo DS to continue its stalwart defiance of market saturation.
But a little game called Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G will probably change in that fairly short order. Nintendo fans, consider yourselves braced. Hardware sales for week ending 23rd March:
1. DS Lite - 65,055
2. Wii - 62,404
3. PSP - 59,833
4. PS3 - 12,874
5. PS2 - 9,990
6. Xbox 360 - 1,407
