Japan: PSP has 5 of top ten titles, number 2 in hardware photo

The DS (and the DSi) are always big in Japan, right? Well, the PSP is putting up a good fight lately. The Media Create sales figures for last week show that Sony's portable has plenty of good software to offer.

While Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii and Winning Eleven 2009 for the PS3 took the top spots, titles like Silent Hill 3, Higurashi Daybreak, and Musou Orochi: Maou Sairin helped the PSP's software lineup take five of the top ten spots in software sales last week. Gundam vs. Gundam and a new Yu-Gi-Oh game filled out the other two spots. Of course, none were a match for the new Professor Layton title, which sold over 347,000 copies alone.

The PSP also had solid hardware sales last week, coming in at the number two spot, right under the DS/DSi combined figure with over 55,000 units sold. The release of Winning Eleven 2009 probably helped boost the sales of the PS3, which did a solid week with 34,978 units sold, placing them right under the Wii's 49,000+.

Just looking at the post pic, I figured out this one is obviously done by none other than...


I guess the DSi roused up enough excitement to top the PSP. Wait till the DSi gets its own Monster Hunter 4 player co-op style game comes out.

This is no surprise since the japan people love those small little electronic devices so much.

I'll be honest, I didn't read the blog at all. But whatever it is saying, sure why not. Now back to coming up with cases in which I can get both of those hot asian women covered in green jello throwing either 1 up mushrooms or ninja stars at one another.

Since when is Silent Hill 3 a PSP game? And I'll take both girls. I don't see any "Limit: One per household" disclaimer.
