I''m just amazed that the old PS2 is outselling the PSP. by now you'd think there'd be more PS2's in Japan than people :)

[pibs]

The DS's keep breaking, it's the only explanation :P

[bsg]

The DS is suddenly having a rise in sales of about 100.000.

What could be the reason? FF 3?

Thats exactly what I'd like to know. DAMN! What is the population in Japan? By not almost everyone should have a DS Lite. Selling over a quarter million in 1 week?

I say it everytime I see these numbers, but I mean it this time. I'm getting a DS Lite! That many people can't be wrong.

This causes me worry for the PSP now. It has yet to bounce back from those low numbers.

DS is kicking ass :)

Pokemon Pearl & Diamond.

Nintendo STILL have 5 different handhelds in the charts!

Pokemon Pearl & Diamond.

Beat me to it.

pokemon is DEFINITELY the reason that the DS has suddenly rocketed up (again) in sales.

Go nintendo.

And xbox - 3 ? LOL

[Basil Zero]

The reason why DS's sales reached over 100000, is because of the latest release of the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl game, Nintendo just added insult to the current injury to PSP, thats quite smart of them, to hit sony where its hurting alot now, especially before the release of ps3 and the ps1 capability on psp.

:D According to cia.gov Japan has 127,417,244 people

All people will own a DS Lite some day in the future.

And if the devs finally see how many people actually own a DS Lite, then they will not choose to develop for the PSP. But this is already happening, the DS Library is growing stronger and stronger with only exclusives while the PSP only get's lame ps2 ports that cost nothing to make.

Will the same happen with Wii vs. PS3 ?

DSL has gone up from last week by a lot.

People probably buy xboxes over there just to see their number on that list.

Most likely, Sony charges a crap load of money for a dev kit, more so than Nintendo. I see a big transition for this generation, Nintendo will take the top spot all they way around.

I too have to laugh at poor XBox getting only 3 sales... :rolleyes:
