Japanese hardware sales: November 16-22, 2009

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Nintendo DSi fall beyond the third spot in the Japanese hardware sales charts. Until now, that is. But before you go celebrating that the dual-screened handheld has finally been humbled, read up first. Yes, the DSi has indeed fallen to 5th place, in the race, only to be replaced by its cousin, the DSi LL on top of the charts. Sorry guys, but Nintendo’s still got the Japanese market’s attention in this fight.

At its first week in the charts, it has already zoomed up to the top of the list with a crazy 100,553 units sold. Really, are westill surprised at the DS’ (and all its variations) selling power. It’s a mony-maker, certified.

It’s THEIR fault!
