Japanese hardware sales were down considerably for the week of May 6th through the 13th, especially on the Nintendo DS and Wii fronts. The previous week saw a big boost in DS Lite sales as gamers snapped up the handheld to play Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings. PSP sales held strong amidst dropping numbers, presumably due to the release of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War.
PLAYSTATION 3 hardware took a hit, stumbling into four-figure sales territory, while the rest of the field performed mostly as it has for months. Here's the sales breakdown, courtesy of Media Create.
- Nintendo DS Lite - 163,785
- Wii - 52,544
- PSP - 34,433
- PlayStation 2 - 10,414
- PLAYSTATION 3 - 8,839
- Xbox 360 - 2,105
- Game Boy micro - 408
- Game Boy Advance SP - 343
Man, I sure hope Japanese PS3 owners hear the good news about this week's Joust trailer hitting the PlayStation Store. That should spur some sales!
