Chart updated again.
Both the DS and PSP saw a healthy seasonal upswing in sales and things will only get better from hereon. PSP should sell over 100k next week, while the DS should cross 200k.
This is the best sales the PSP has seen in 48 weeks and only the 5th time it's sold more than 75k in a week. Sony should still be proud.
The DS is a behemoth right now. Mario Kart and Mushiking are right around the corner as far as sales charting are concerned. It's going to be a wild ride, for sure.

I don't see you listing 'Easter' on the chart there. Did you just forget it?

Easter needs to be represented.

The chart isn't complete until Easter is noted.
Sales of the top 100 titles totaled 1,203,066 units, 83.27% of last week's total and 155.35% of the weekly average. Though lacking last week's vigor, this week also saw a large number of new titles boost the market, and as with last week, total sales surpassed 1 million units.
Twenty-seven new releases took spots in the top 100, accounting for 47.87% of total sales. Top-ranked "Resident Evil 4" sold approximately 243,000 units. The title was released about 10 months after the GC version, which was launched in January of this year, and it appears to have gotten off to a strong start in its first week, surpassing results for the GC version. (At this point in time, the GC version has sold a total of approximately 220,000 units.) "Monster Hunter Portable" in third place sold approximately 114,000 units. The title had an absorption rate of more than 80% and sold out at a series of stores. There were a notably large number of purchases of the game together with the PSP hardware, and the title became a bigger hit than expected.
Meanwhile, sales of existing titles jumped from approximately 458,000 units to 627,000 units partially due to the effects of titles launched last week such as "Animal Crossing: Wild World." This week's strong performance was supported by rich lineups in both the new title and the existing title markets.

No love for Samurai Warriors or Metal Gear Acid 2?
I'm an old fashioned lad - I really loved older KOEI Amiga games: Ghenghis Khan, Bandit Kings of Ancient China, San Guo Yanyi strategies...
As for MGA2 - I have it preordered.
Jonnyram said:
I agree in principle, but it was only doing 50k last week so i think the 92k this week is a bit of a spike and not really a natural increase due to the holiday period, so i think a drop back to ~70k next week will be likely unless there are any major new releases coming...

Well if it's "amazing" then it must be much better than expected and I think expectations were that it would do similar numbers to Animal Crossing, so who knows?
If Rogue Galaxy has done 150k (which is a lot for this time of year on a first day since all games tend to have "legs" a bit more) then Mario Kart must surely be a fair bit higher?
300k maybe? More?
