Hardware sales in Japan were up 30 percent in September over last year, fueled by continuing high sales of DS – 660K for the month.
However, the hardware business fell by 2.3 percent (14.5 billion yen) compared to August. On the software side, a total of 730K copies were sold during September, with 500K copies of DS games, 108K for PSP and 106K for PS2. The software business was up by 25.7 percent (17.1 billion yen) compared to last month and by 17.4 percent compared to last year.
With 230K copies sold in September, New Super Mario Brothers on DS was the dominant product and has now reached the three million mark - the third DS title to do so.
