Market research firm Media Create has revealed data for weekly hardware sales in Japan for the week ending September 16th, following details of the software top thirty.
In a turnaround of fortunes that would have seemed impossible even a month ago, the PSP has outsold the Nintendo DS for the first time in over a year. The launch of the PSP Slim and Lite and the release of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII has seen a massive increase in sales of over 79,923 units to a total of 95,487. How many of these units are the new PSP Slim and Lite and how many the original version of the hardware is unclear.
Previously even this large increase in sales would not have seen the PSP totally outsell the Nintendo DS, but the Nintendo portable continues to endure unusually low sales. Despite a small increase of 2,501 units it could still manage a total of only 79,989, with no reports of significant stock problems.

Interesting news for the PSP.
It seems the mods need help with this forum. I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.
