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.
