On the hardware side this week, Japanese consumers opted for the latest model of the Nintendo DS hardware, as expected, with the release of Nintendo DSi. As a result, DS Lite sales took a huge drop to way below even the Xbox 360. Whether this new hardware iteration can keep Nintendo’s handheld at No.1 above the PlayStation Portable for an extended period of time remains to be seen.
