    PSP Continues To Rule Japanese Hardware Sales

    It's the same old story. Boy meets Monster Hunter. Boy buys Monster Hunter. Boy buys PSP. We lose interest in the dreadfully boring and stable Japanese hardware market. Can't someone buy 60,000 Xbox 360s and mix it up over there? We're getting tired of seeing that giant black mass dominate the Media Create hardware charts! Oh well. Maybe we'll feel better pointing out a PS3 sales blip on the release of Valkyria Chronicles and dreadful Xbox 360 numbers. Nope. That didn't help.

    • PSP - 92,411
    • Wii - 48,796
    • Nintendo DS - 42,435
    • PlayStation 3 - 9,107
    • PlayStation 2 - 7,108
    • Xbox 360 - 1,283
