Nintendo Units And Titles Looking Good In This Week’s Japan Sales Charts

In the latest Japanese sales charts that Media Create has compiled which are dated from August 28 to September 3, the Nintendo DS Lite has come out at the top, thanks to the release of its black version in Japan. It has sold a whopping eight times more than its close competitor, the Sony PSP. This is a huge thing since the number of units sold last week have almost doubled.

The number of PS2 units sold include both the “original” and the “slim” types, while the numbers in parenthesis are the total number of units that have been sold since the release of that particular title or console. For the win!


Hardware

  • Nintendo DS Lite – 228,939 (4,196,826)
  • PlayStation Portable – 27,499 (3,939,299)
  • PlayStation 2 – 22,703 (19,684,767)
  • Game Boy Advance SP – 2,751 (5,884,378)
  • Game Boy Micro – 1,791 (535,040)
  • Xbox 360 – 1,250 (140,493)
  • GameCube – 855 (4,157,561)
  • Nintendo DS – 320 (6,577,480)
  • Game Boy Advance – 22 (8,822,676)
  • Xbox – 0 (475,522)

DS Total – 10,774,306
GBA Total – 15,242,094

Moving on to the games themselves, the sales for Final Fantasy III have dropped, not because people didn’t want it anymore (it DID completely sell out on its release day, afterall), but because at the moment, the limelight is shining on a non-Nintendo game, Phantasy Star. Ninty fans can still breathe easy, though, since the top ten is till dominated by Nintendo games.
