The weekly console data update from Japan is in once again with the following figures:
Playstation Portable: 61,181
Nintendo DS Lite: 57,398
Nintendo Wii: 41,109
Playstation 3: 9,508
Playstation 2: 9,045
Xbox 360: 5,359
PSP maintains top position, drops roughly 6,300. DS is second, up 600. Wii follows, up 85. Forth is PS3, down 1,100. Playstation 2 comes along at 5th rank, down 250. Last is Xbox 360, down 400.
Nice, PSP is losing every week. 2 more weeks and DS will be back at the top.
No way, with the upcoming releases scheduled for the PSP starting next month, the PSP will no doubt hold strong. Don't get me wrong, the DS has a few gems on the way as well. But I think the DS's time as king has passed.
I will admit the PSP gains seem fragile at best but the PSP still has some untapped potential.
I just don't really see it as a competition between the two handhelds. Every real gamer will want to have both. Anyone who picks one over the other is just cheating themselves.
Nintendo hand helds are king, and look how close it is. Like it really matters as the ds is years ahead of anything that sony could ever achieve.
I have been supprised the Xbox 360 is making a small come back in japan. They were getting 1000-1500 units sold every week for months there, but in the last few weeks they have been getting 4000+, and next week will be huge
