PSP top of Japanese Hardware charts (yes again)

Silver Mirror | June 06, 2008 | Industry News | Playstation Portable 
It seems to defy the laws of sales, but somehow the PSP is still on top in the hardware charts for Japan. How does the PSP go from trailing both the Wii and the DS to topping them consistently week after week, surely Monster Hunter is not alone responsible for all this?
Japanese hardware sales were up across the board, a trend that was reflected in the latest software chart too. Sony’s handheld enjoyed the largest increase in sales, up 7,500 units on the previous week’s total to 71,986.



Nintendo’s Wii was in second place once more, having shifted 50,851 units, followed by its handheld sibling with 38,355 sales.

    Software-sale wise, it's still not doing too great.

      Ain't that the truth! But they really aren't releasing shit for the PSP that is worth a damn. I have almost 20 games on my wishlist.....nearly half are DS games, and there isn't a single PSP game on it.
