Very interesting indeed.

Nintendo have it all wrapped up again and have stolen 8 of the top 10 slots with games on both the DS and Wii.

The PSP has managed to steal top spot with the release of Final Fantasy Tactics having sold a healthy 241k units in the month of May. Another Square-Enix release Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings could of very well stole the show if it had been released 1 week later, seeing as it sold 287k units in it's first week on sale alone and has sold a grand total of 488k units in 6 weeks since it's release.  FF Tactics on the PSP has sold 256k in 4 weeks since release.

Just goes to show, that:

1. The PSP can shift games if they are the right games.
2. Final Fantasy still shifts a power of units (that is unless they are remakes of remakes)
