DS domination

   With almost half a million nintendo DS's sold in the last two weeks of december nintendo continues to pwn rivals Sony and Microsoft.

   While half a million is a large number we can easily turn the tables when considering that microsft, who we knew was never going to do well in japan has managed to sell half a million xbox360's...just now. After two years they've finally managed to reach the .5 million mark. I'll recheck my sources on this but it seems more then believable given the poor sales at launch and japans continued loyalty to the homegrown heavy wieghts nintendo and Sony. The month of december saw notable numbers with the wii selling 385,000 units while the DS's Sony rival, the PSP saw a resurgent 332,000 in sales. Still well below DS numbers though.

The hardware sales for the week ending december 30th are as follows:

1st. Nintendo DS - 218,894
2nd. Sony PSP - 161,370
3rd. Nintendo wii - 152,209
4th. Sony PS3 - 52,706
5th. Sony PS2 - 25,569
6th. Xbox360 - 8304

The real story here is that the Playstation 3 FINALLY outsold the Playstation 2.
