Wow, those console sales are really falling in Japan across all platforms. I suspect it's to do with to global economic slowdown which isn't good for business. The figures for the week Oct 6th-12th from Media Create are down below as usual:
  • Nintendo DS Lite: 31,914
  • Playstation Portable: 23,901
  • Nintendo Wii: 22,877
  • Xbox 360: 7,763
  • Playstation 2: 6,982
  • Playstation 3: 5,734

Slight change to 4th and 5th positions but anyway, in rough figures: DS Lite is on top, takes 11,400 hit. PSP is second, drops 2,000. Next is the Wii, loses 2,500. Xbox 360 comes 4th, reduced by 700 while the PS2 slides into 5th place, down 1,700. Last in line is the PS3, down 1,500.


All in all, yet another week of slow console hardware sales
