PSP Overtakes Nintendo DS…Finally!
Japan is one of the top countries when it comes to technology(we all know America is the top dog!). For awhile it seemed like theyvoted for Nintendo along with the rest of us. That was until last week when they switched teams over to Sony.
Nintendo lost some ground in Japan with their Nintendo DS as the Sony PlayStation Portable managed to outsell the DS last week. There has been a huge leap in the sales of over 79,923 units to a total of 95,487, all credited to the launch of the PSP Slim and Lite and the release of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. However, it is not known how many of the consoles were the original PSPs or the Slim and Lite ones.
As for the Nintendo DS, the Media Create data shows that the handheld console continues to suffer unusually stumpy sales. Even though there was a small increase of 2,501 units, it managed to hit only 79,989 units. Also, there were no reports of momentous stock problems.
Looks like Nintendo is going to have to re-think the way they design their handhelds. They need to get a bit more creative and do a makeover or release a new game that will have everyone jumping for it.
