News site Bloomberg has published a story focusing on shipment numbers for both the DS and PSP in Japan and, unsurprisingly, when compared side-by-side, the DS is winning. Shipping at about 3-to-1 when compared to the PSP in the region, the DS is still showing its dominance in the market. Sony spokesperson Satoshi Fukuoka confirmed the number of PSPs shipped to the region during a phone interview today. So while the PSP enjoyed a nice sales week in Japan due to the release of Monster Hunter, the war is very much being won by the DS.
1. Didn't we already know that the DS was kicking the PSP's proverbial ass in the Land of the Rising Sun?
Something funky with the article though... It says that Sony is loosing the market share to the Nintendo DS, but did they have any share to lose to begin with? Last I checked, they were never the leader and this is their first handheld entry.
