Japan hardware sales chart dominated by DSi
But there are still some crazy people buying DS Lites
The latest Japanese hardware sales figures are in, courtesy of Media Create, and they show DSi is (unsurprisingly, since it's only been out a couple of weeks) easily ahead of its competition when it comes to numbers sold.
Over the last week, DSi shifted an impressive 104,897 units. The DS Lite meanwhile still managed a few sales even with a swanky new bit of hardware with camera and internet connection sitting next to it – 8,381 to be precise.
The PSP is still selling respectably in Japan, too. It sits second to DSi with 43,726 units sold. Not bad for a console that barely has any new games.
