News: Latest Japanese Charts
Posted 09 May 2006 at 07:49 by Tom Phillips
The DS and DS Lite both outsell the PSP... by quite a considerable margin. Another great week for Nintendo in the handheld market!
We're currently rushing around getting ready for E3 later today, so forgive us if these charts aren't laid out as pretty as usual. The software chart was dominated by the latest Winning Eleven title for the PS2, with an impressive 460,000 units sold. Apart from that, only one other PS2 title (Dragon Quest) made it into a Nintendo handheld dominated chart, which looked as follows:
1 PS2 Winning Eleven 10 - 460,549
2 NDS Tetris DS - 218,099
3 NDS Brain training 2 - 94,231
4 NDS Brain training - 74,783
5 NDS Animal Crossing - 56,860
6 PS2 Dragon Quest Shonen Yangus - 54,456
7 NDS English training - 52,258
8 GBA Mother 3 - 50,923
9 NDS Naruto 4 - 38,236
10 NDS Pokemon Ranger 36,777
Meanwhile on the hard-ware side of things, there was no doubting the DS Lite's total ass-whuppage of all other formats, while even the old-school design of the DS outsold the PSP. The Cube again appeared to be on it's last legs, however. The hard-ware figures then, looked thus:
DSL 225,835
DS 42,695
PSP 40,884
PS2 29,837
GBASP 8,225
GBM 5,034
Xbox360 2,845
GC 1,126
GBA 69
Xbox 29
