Yeah, but DS was still riding the DSi high last year and PSP had a big release (Radiant Mythology 2).  LL did okay, but hasn't pushed hardware sales nearly as much.

wtf @ 2007

so Ps3 is below its 2008 sales

Psp was dead level with the Wii. It was the pspgo which put it on top. I guess it has had some significance for Sony then.

lol.  What's the ETA on selling out that first shipment?  Actually, will there even be a 2nd shipment?

Wow good hold for Wii hardware, hopefully Nintendo release a couple of games in March to keep this going...
Great week for PS3, 2 decent openings and next up is Yakuza!

Actually, I'm a little surprised that EOE didn't bump PS3 sales at all it seems? I mean, it's not a HUGE release, but it's still something new and semi-big? Plus AT3/TLR, you'd think the RPG deluge would've pushed the hardware more?

Then again, same could be said for DS and DQVI, but coming after DQIX I think that's a little more immediately understandable.

Also, it looks like none of the DQ reprints made top 10? I thought DQIX might have at least, it's under 14k then. :(

Yeah, kinda disapointed in DS sales there. I imagined something like 100.000.
Oh, well... still great.

Nah, DQ will sell, but i think the fanbase is already there to push hardware

Looking at the numbers again, Valkyria 2's 2nd week is kinda bad. It's actually slightly less than the original... now I'm not sure if it's even going to make 200k. :/
