Media Create Japan Hardware Sales: March 5th-11th

Last week's sales in Japan sure seem to be full of surprises. Gundam Musou remained on the top 10, and Monster Hunter Portable 2nd continues to sell a plethora. Now there are more surprises in the form of hardware sales. We aren't certain what the reasons are, but the Nintendo Wii's sales have fallen 13k down to 44k. Gamers who reside in Japan claim a shortage of consoles, stating that Wiis are nowhere to be found in the country.

Nintendo has recently gone on record to admit that demand is simply much higher than supply. What's more is that the PS3 is enjoying another week of reasonable sales, taking in 32k consoles sold. The PSP had another terrific week with 56k units moved, and the handheld has surpassed 5-million in sales. Lastly, the Nintendo DS continues to parade like a champ taking in almost the same amount as it did the week before with 109k sold.
