http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/02/500x_mchw_020410.jpgSony's PlayStation Portable sits atop this week's Japanese Hardware Chart once again, thanks to... well, actually that's a good question. Kingdom Hearts, maybe? Valkyria Chronicles? You'd think the Nintendo DS would be the system performing best.
Looking at Dragon Quest VI sales (http://kotaku.com/5464418/dragon-quest-vi-remakes-massive-ds-success-in-japan), the DS platform's sales this week—spread across three iterations, mind you—feel like they should have been higher. Nintendo's handheld did sell a combined 72,000-plus units, definitely better than the previous week, likely thanks to a little help from Square Enix's latest remake. So, from one perspective, the Nintendo DS/i/LL is the week's bestseller.
But take first place the PSP did again, no thanks to the PSPgo. Anyone want to take bets on when (or if) the UMD-less version of the PSP dips into the three digit sales zone?
