Just as we were starting to get comfortable with the DS coming in third consistently on the Japanese hardware charts, Metal Gear Solid 4 came out and helped push our favorite handheld down to fourth. Fourth! Meaning, it only did better than the PS2 and 360. Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!DS hardware did get a little boost, though, despite the fact that not much new software made its way into the charts:
- Playstation 3: 75,311 (
64,455) - PSP: 64,675 (2,659)
- Wii: 45,564 (925)
- Nintendo DS: 39,201 (4,181)
- PlayStation 2: 7,297 (1,018)
- Xbox 360: 2,163 (
117)
