This week's hardware chart may not look radically different—the Nintendo DS Lite and Wii still reign supreme, taking everyone down to Asskick Park for a good sales walloping—but it reflects a generally healthy week for Sony hardware. PSP, PlayStation 2 and PLAYSTATION 3 sales are all up from the previous two weeks. Even the PS3 has pulled itself out from the below 10K per week sales gutter with a 24% week over week improvement. Why the change? Surely, Sony hardware is flying off the shelves due to the release of the new Super Robot Wars OG: Original Generations game.

• Nintendo DS Lite - 157,435
• Wii - 73,919
• PSP - 38,305
• PlayStation 2 - 16,316
• PLAYSTATION 3 - 11,914
• Xbox 360 - 3,154
• Game Boy micro - 377
• Game Boy Advance SP - 179

Overall, much money was exchanged between Japanese gamers and retailers. We'll see how long this Super Robot Wars sales explosion lasts and how long it will help shift Sony hardware starting next week.
