Japan: DSi smashes into the charts, Xbox 360 back in last place
The DSi sold so incredibly well in Japan that stocks ran out on its second day, selling more than all the other consoles and handhelds combined (including sales of the DS Lite!).
Also in the news, the PlayStation 3 is getting its groove back, selling 10 times (yes, that’s right, 10 times) more than it did last week. Details after the link.
The DSi is so popular, it’s selling like DSs – well, back when it was still new.
The DSi sold so incredibly well in Japan that stocks ran out on its second day, selling more than all the other consoles and handhelds combined (including sales of the DS Lite!).
Also in the news, the Xbox 360 sales boost seems to have died, and the console is back in last place. The PlayStation 3, on the other hand, sold 10 times (yes, that’s right, 10 times) more than it did last week, when it sold a little below 4,000 units. The latest numbers show it sold close to 40,000 units. That’s a big leap up.
Sony‘s had a pretty good week in Japan, with both the PSP and PS3 sitting pretty just below the DSi. Because of the PS3’s massive sales boost though, the Xbox 360 is back in last place. Sales of the 360 seems to be waning after a few weeks of strong sales. Here are the hardware sales numbers for the week ending on November 3:
- DSi: 171,925
- PSP: 50,358
- PS3: 39,587
- Wii: 23,123
- DS Lite: 16,369
- PS2: 6,714
- Xbox 360: 6,119
