Undoubtedly spurred on by the July 14th release of StarFox 3D, the 3DS had a killer sales week in Japan, taking back top spot from the PSP.
July 10th-17th Hardware sales in Japan
3DS 46,637
PSP 26,551
PS3 23,322
Wii 14,237
DSi LL 4,693
DSi 4,384
360 1,734
PS2 1,405
DS Lite 131
PSP Go 14
Of course down here at the bottom of the list we have some fun as well, where did they find those 131 DS Lites? And who are the 14 people that decided NOW was the time to buy a PSP Go?
And, if we add these numbers to the North American and European numbers, the chart ends up like this:
PS3 123,863
Wii 120,946
Xbox 360 107,475
DS (all ) 104,275
3DS 89,844
PSP 75,190
Keep in mind the PSP and DS numbers include all of the various iterations. What I think we can clearly see here are two things: Japan has adopted the 3DS much more readily than North America and Japan, and that software sells systems! Seriously Nintendo, we need more 3DS games, even if they’re rehashes!
