Another Week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 2/18-2/24

The DS and PSP seem to be in a tooth-and-nail fight for second place. This week, the PSP took back the second spot, but just barely.

Hardware:

Wii: 63,504
PSP: 53,373
Nintendo DS: 50,151
PlayStation 3: 14,060
PlayStation 2: 9,634
Xbox 360: 2,001

The DS did better in software, though, with Etrian Odyssey II becoming popular in its first week. The DS dungeon crawler was only 9,000 units away from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in fact. Harvest Moon: Shining Sun and Friends was another DS champ, ending up 5th on this week's chart.

There were twelve DS games in the top thirty, which is impressive, especially considering the ton of new releases that came out last week. The new software did manage to bump a bunch of DS games out of the top thirty, though, including big names like Professor Layton and Pandora's Box, Dragon Quest IV, and Final Fantasy IV. To see the software placements, make sure to check after the break.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) --- 77,525 (1,291,000)

Are there plans to release Etrian II in the US?

I just finished EO and loved it... hoping they translate it.

Yay! Go TMGS 2nd Season! It is just amazing - probably the best DS game I've played in a while.

I've heard good things about the new Harvest Moon as well. Too bad it probably won't hit America until probably 2009.
