PS3 and PSP Sales Down; DS Still White Hot
12/14/08
Japan
- This time of year is always the biggest for hardware manufacturers,
and that continues to hold true for Nintendo. The sizzling-hot DS and
Wii brands improve upon week-over-week sales for the 4th and 5th week
in a row respectively, with the DS weighing in at 139k and the Wii
landing at 57k for the week. Nintendo took a combined 65.98% of all
hardware sales this week.
Sony is struggling to see the
same returns, with both the PSP and the PS3 down slightly from the
previous week. Clearly a concern for any hardware manufacturer, Sony's
PSP is down for the 3rd week in a row in what is supposed to be the
busiest time of year. The PS3, a known quantity at this point, is doing
its best to keep its head above water and maintain slightly elevated
seasonal sales.
