Thanks to a few chart-topping hits—Wii Sports Resort and Tomodachi Collection—the Wii and Nintendo DS had a good week in Japan, each platform seeing a boost in weekly hardware sales. The same goes for the PSP.
Actually, it was a pretty good week for everyone, as hardware sales were up all over—with the exception of the PlayStation 3, which saw only a minor drop from last week. We’d expect the good news for Nintendo to continue next week, when Dragon Quest IX sales are reported. That special edition DQ IX-themed Nintendo DS is sure to do wonders for the platform’s pie chart performance.
