http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_mchw_010410.jpgAfter taking a backseat to Final Fantasy XIII and the PlayStation 3 (http://kotaku.com/5433792/big-final-fantasy-xiii-sales-mean-big-ps3-sales-in-japan), Nintendo had a very merry Christmas week in Japan, another 215,000 Wiis in Japanese gamers' waggle-hungry hands.
With a little help (http://kotaku.com/5437992/mario-zelda-strike-down-final-fantasy-xiii-in-japan) from Mario, Luigi and two Toads, the Wii scored first place on Media Create (http://kotaku.com/tag/mediacreate/)'s weekly hardware chart, nearly doubling PS3s sales during the same period. Suppose that selling a half-million copies of New Super Mario Bros. Wii will do that for one's platform.
The non-LL sized DSi managed to just squeak past the PS3 this week, giving Nintendo second place, with the PSP managing a fourth place showing.
Wii - 215,129
Nintendo DSi - 113,984
PlayStation 3 - 110,519
PSP - 105,801
Nintendo DSi LL - 81,430
Nintendo DS Lite - 17,695
Xbox 360 - 6,489
PSPgo - 4,192
PlayStation 2 - 3,747
