This week's Media Create hardware sales chart looks nearly identical to last week's as Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G domination continues to decimate the competition. PSPs are outselling everything, with the only change for the week of March 31 to April 6 a barely noticeable increase in share from the PlayStation 3. Everyone else is holding steady amid a lack of powerhouse releases.
- PSP - 120,964
- Nintendo DS - 55,190
- Wii - 44,618
- PlayStation 3 - 11,303
- PlayStation 2 - 10,423
- Xbox 360 - 1,452

By god, I didn't think the monster would return this week to be the champion as well. Go PSP.
ouch
Oh, so thats how you sell gaming hardware, release games that people want to play.
Oh oh, you can faintly see a Sony pacman on that pie chart. What happened to Nintendomination?
i'll never be able to fathom why dynasty warriors and monster hunters and the like sell so damn much. i guess its no worse of a rehash than half the crap americans go for..
who knows
back to Brawl
What is sad is that all the consoles and handhelds added together (besides PSP) equal 122,986. The PSP almost outsold everything combined. It is unstoppable.
Look at the PSP go!
Oh no! Our pie has the black plague!
@dexterk03: I find your comment funny when you are playing a "rehash".
Real bright there bucko.
@dexterk03: Different cultures my man...Nice to see the PSP kicking ass.
I love my PS3
Good thing to see it get the recognition it deserves
@PaulHunter: What a concept :-)
@Witzbold: Witz... I think that was the point.
@Witzbold: Wasn't that the joke?
***kaPow***
@Snuffbox: Did you mean to say PSP?
@dexterk03: I needed my daily dose of irony there. :P
@ShaggE: Never mind. I'm an idiot. Good show, dexterk03.
@everyone: i guess i should get a gold star or something.
or a dunce hat.
no, no.. i've seen where jokes will get me.
My god... this is just insane.
It's tempting me to go out and buy a psp just to test out Monster Hunter.
They need to put Monster Hunter 3 on PS3 not Wii, that would sell a lot of PS3 systems it looks!
@Balance_In_Life (PSN): With the way things have been for the past few days Ive seen more idiots than necessary so you must excuse me if the radar is a bit "broke".
@dexterk03:
Way to hop on the anti-American bandwagon. You're so cool!
@Witzbold: Happens to the best of us. It even happens to me once in a while!
shiiiit.
the psp is doing SO well.
so awesome.
you know, carrying a psp around really does feel SO classy.
@Ecks:
I dont think the console really matters. The fact that it sold this much on the PSP and pushed PSP sales shows that monster hunter will sell extremely well regardless of platform.
I got a kick out of the "OMG PSP DOMINATION" posts. Once monster hunter fever dies down the PSP will be back to status quo.
Heh, good job PSP. I'm proud of you.
Hmm, what's the next big releases for the other platforms over in Japan? Maybe they will get their own boosts soon.
@SoxyRob: For some reason I found that hilarious.
@Strangelove: Wow! You got me! You made an insult on the internet! Feel better?
I hate america. I hate rehashes.
I am an american. I play Brawl.
So, my question is.. is irony too high-brow for this site or just you?
@Strangelove: What's anti-American about what he said? We DO go for rehashes. Just look at Hollywood.
@dexterk03: Just toss a little ";)" or something at the end. Sarcasm is a bit hard to recognize when you don't hear the tone of voice.
You really think America is the only place that goes for rehashes of old crap? Thats the entire fucking world. Not just america.
PSP is the new Pac-man along with ps2 and ps3. ds strank.
@Witzbold: Heh, no problem at all bro! I know it's been rough lately.
Now the DS needs a boost of decent games to get on top, also im curious to see what is going to happen when Monterhunter on the wii gets released...
@Wolfers: you know, to an extent, you're right. you're right and it's sad.
but seriously though, if i can read a fucking book, point out the irony, point out the sarcasm, look at the language, i'm pretty sure anyone else can. least of all without god awful emoticons.
thanks but no thanks.
ps, feel free to ban me Witzbold. It seems I've forgotten what a headache it is to comment with my forehead smashed against the ketybsaord agisdan anmdk agadikmn ansfdasd
@dexterk03:
Yeah, that's it, you're too high-brow for me. Nailed it. Thank god you took the time to explain yourself, or the whole comment would've gone over my head.
@Strangelove: well i'm glad something got through
@dexterk03:
Is that what's called condescending? Please learn me.
what's really funny is that the PSP outsold the 360 almost 90:1 (too lazy to divide)
@Witzbold: yeah, it's unusual to see more trolls than usual in Kotaku, especially when they make a joke in a article about a kid that died or a 360 flamer. you need some rest, witz.
Handhelds: 176,154
Home Consoles: 67,796
or
Handhelds: 72.2%
Home Consoles: 27.8%
Finally the PSP is getting the attention it deserves, its an amazing machine.
Wooooh! I contributed to the PSP sales, mmMMMmm Mint Green!
I hacked mine after I bought it, didn't know it would be so easy!
@Marlor:
The Japanese are a mobile people, they prefer handhelds to consoles because well, duh, they can take them with them on those long train rides.
Mass transit ftw.
I'm sure the Wii version of MH3 will sell well based on the popularity of the series but I think it's more of a portable game.
@Witzbold: lmao. wow you took the words right outta my post :D
@Witzbold: i think the post about the poor lass passing away due to idoit teens had you in full Thor status, so i guess its all good.
@firelogic: this just in. the online structure for the wii is bat shit. so, let's see how far popularity will take that game.
It's the eclipse!
@NutManIV: "Once monster hunter fever dies down the PSP will be back to status quo."
Yeah, which is still higher than DS and Wii.
om nom nom nom.
I didn't know Sony had a license to print money too.
@dexterk03: Always what I've wondered too.. Monster Hunter is the worst PSP game in my collection.
Clunky and slow combat, huge load times, muddy graphics, lack of any interesting sound, poor character building/development..
