    Japanese Console Sales Jump On Kingdom Hearts Release

    The release of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Gyakuten Kenji has done wonderful things for Nintendo DSi sales in Japan, almost doubling them week-to-week. In fact, improvements were almost across the board.

    Thanks to a batch of brand new releases, tepid hardware sales overseas saw a little kick in the pants. It was the DSi that saw the biggest gain, but PSP, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sales were all up. Those platforms can mostly likely thank Yuusha 30, Shin Sangoku Musou 5 Empires and HAWX for that.

    The DSi has the biggest slice of the pie, but to see how it all went down, read on.

    • Nintendo DSi - 65,537
    • PSP - 32,251
    • Wii - 17,810
    • PlayStation 3 - 12,427
    • Nintendo DS Lite - 7,519
    • Xbox 360 - 4,857
    • PlayStation 2 - 4,120
