You know, it wasnât a bad week for game console sales in Japan, thanks to a little boost in Wii and PlayStation 3 hardware spending. Of course, Nintendo and Sony have software sales to thank for that.
Strong sales of Wii Sports Resort helped the Wii get a ten percent bump week-to-week. Donât be surprised if next week is even better for the lilâ white console, as Wii owners tend to walk, not run to the nearest electronics store to buy new consoles.
Sadly, just about everything else was down. Not surprising, when Wii, PS3 and DS games dominate the charts. And everyone has a DS by now, right? No, not right.
Here are the Japanâs bestselling consoles from June 22nd to the 28th, courtesy of Media Create.
