Japanese Hardware Sales: August 11th - 17th, 2008

Well, here it is again with more data for weekly sales in Japan and everyone gets a raise from last weeks' reading except for one:


Nintendo DS Lite: 78,666
Playstation Portable: 64,413
Nintendo Wii: 53,036
Playstation 3: 11,393
Playstation 2: 10,168
Xbox 360: 7,358


DS lite is on top, up roughly 18, 200. PSP increases by 5,800, in 2nd place. In 3rd is the Wii, rises by 14,500. In 4th and 5th ranks, PS3 and PS2 go up by 1,800 and 1,500 respectively. Last is the Xbox 360, sliding back down to 6th, reduced by 17,000.

Yeah, DS sold a lot more this week.

Wonder how many months Dragon Quest will prop up the DS's sales.

360 went down by 17,000. LOL. I own a 360, so I can laugh about it.

Yes, and that's only 3,000 units behind the PS3, which is a very popular brand there.

there are reports that the 360 has sold out in japan, and won't be restocked before sept, I wonder if the 7,000 sales before or after the sellout.
