Media Create hardware charts show DSi LL living large in Japan

Damn. It seems Nintendo really can do no wrong in Japan when it comes to their DS handhelds. The latest DS iteration, the DSi LL, debuted at the top of Media Create‘s Japanese hardware charts by selling almost three times the number of units each of the rest of the top five consoles did.

Damn. It seems Nintendo really can do no wrong in Japan when it comes to their DS handhelds. The latest DS iteration, the DSi LL, debuted at the top of Media Create‘s Japanese hardware charts by selling almost three times the number of units each of the rest of the top five consoles did.

The DSi LL sold an impressive 100,553 units, handily trouncing the PS3 and pushing it back to second place with 34,752 units sold. Enterbrain sets that number higher, however, pegging the handheld’s sales at 103,524 units in its first two days.

While it’s not quite as high as those posted by the DSi, the number’s even more impressive when you consider that those are for the DSi LL alone. DSi and DS Lite numbers are counted separately. Man, the Japanese really love those things, don’t they?

Here’s the breakdown showing which console sold how many:

• DSi LL: 100,553
• PS3: 34,752
• Wii: 32,844
• PSP: 32,752
• DSi: 32,070
• DS Lite: 5,051
• PSP Go: 4,574
• Xbox 360: 4,085
• PS2: 2,024
