The DS Lite in Japan, a force high
atop its mighty throne, which cannot fall,
all others can do naught but look and sigh,
their sales so impeded by strongest wall.
For the Lite and the 'Two, arrows rise,
yet the PSP sinks to the abyss,
the downward red glare is blinding to eyes,
so vastly clear that something's amiss.
Wii will do well, if past numbers are true,
the people are ready for a new sun to shine,
and as Sony stumbles almost on cue,
Nintendo steps up and gives us a sign.
For the full story, simply check below,
though these figures may prompt a languid "so?"

Silver Wolfe,
Here are the software numbers I believe. As ussual, the DS is kicking butt and taking names with six of the ten firmly grasped. The PSP managed to sneak one in for the second week in a row too.
1.) Minna no Tennis (PS2, SCE) - 226,976 | NEW
2.) Rurouni Kenshin: Enjou! Kyoto Rinne (PS2, Banpresto) - 75,007 | NEW
3.) Final Fantasy III (NDS, Square Enix) - 57,057 | 655,533
4.) New Super Mario Bros. (NDS, Nintendo) - 53,089 | 3,080,126
5.) GOD HAND (PS2, Capcom) - 48,280 | NEW
6.) More Brain Age (NDS, Nintendo) - 34,959 | 3,186,871
7.) Ridge Racers 2 (PSP, Bandai Namco) - 28,232 | NEW
8.) Atama Scan (NDS, Sega) - 27,890 | NEW
9.) Animal Crossing Wild World (NDS, Nintendo) - 24,792 | 3,230,554
10.) Cooking Navigator (NDS, Nintendo) - 20,766 | 465,958
With all due respect,

Thanks Fox, but I wanted DS Fanboy to post it. I'm wondering why they haven't.
And actually the PS2 is kicking ass and taking names. :D

Silver R. Wolfe,
"Thanks Fox, but I wanted DS Fanboy to post it. I'm wondering why they haven't."
No problem; though I don't see any conspiracy with them not posting the numbers. The DS has done just as well this week as any other with six of the top ten taken.
"And actually the PS2 is kicking ass and taking names. :D"
Yes the PS2 did do well this week. With the launch of two new releases it managed a total of three games in the top ten.
With all due respect,
Fox
