| Game Sales Charts / Weekly Console Hardware Sales in Japan | | | Author | Message | | | | Strong DS sales. In fact, I think they are stronger than the DS' launch week in Japan. I wonder if Nintendo is having trouble keeping up with demand in Japan |

DS is still trashing PSP. |
| | | | I think the PSP sales went bad becouse of lots of returns due to design problems and components used like the dead pixel screen and button problems. The time to fix and maybe redisign the error. |

| | There was no way that sony could challenge the handheld market. Nintendo's mastery over this market was displayed through the NDS which i recall that many ill informed gamers and journalists alke was writing this device off as a failure and out of touch.I'm glad that it shut those fools up. The PSP is still a nifty device though,it just doesn't have the games and originality as the NDS has at the moment. Maybe he fact it's just a mobile PS2 in some respects,has something to do with it as well... |

This is when a Sony Fanboy might say, "Well, the DS reign in Japan was awfully short in the handheld market."
Expect DS to go back to Weekly #1 when supply picks up. |
| | | One has to assume that the lower numbers are due entirely to shortages. The DS's momentum has been steady all along, and good software is continuing to roll out over in Japan.
You'd think with a DS shortage, PSP sales might have spiked a little. I guess its true that no one in Japan cares about the PSP. |

Looks like DS needs another week or two to get back on top. |
| | | | I can't wait until Nintendo restocks DS's in Japan. I'm getting pretty tired of Sony biased sites and articles claiming that the PSP is now going to control the handheld scene in Japan. I guess the DS selling a million units in a month and then having a true shortage aren't real factors to these sites and article authors. The selective ignorance is pretty annoying. |
