Japan’s best-selling Dissidia: Final Fantasy helped the PSP outsell the Wii this week, even though it couldn’t muster enough sales to dethrone the Nintendo DSi. Also seeing a big boost was the PlayStation 3.
It even outsold the Nintendo DS Lite, still [[link]] going strong in Japan to the tune of almost 50,000 handhelds sold per week. With recent PS3 releases also showing up the Media Create software sales charts — Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III and World Soccer Winning Eleven [[link]] 2009 — we’d almost think Japanese gamers were starting to come around to gaming in 4D!
The hardware race for the week of December 29th to January 4th ended like so.
• Nintendo DSi – 182,518
• PSP – 157,088
• Wii – [[link]] 119,965
• PlayStation 3 – 60,654
