Elsewhere, Nintendo’s Rhythm Heaven refuses to leave the charts and may well turn out to be another evergreen hit for the company. It may seem peculiar to have a predominantly western game such as Fallout 3 so high on the charts in Japan, but it’s not so strange in that the Xbox 360 version failed to enter the charts.
The phenomenal sales of the DS now span three systems, but even the DSi alone beat out everything else on the hardware charts this week. As it has been for sometime now, the Wii sits just below the PSP but just above the PlayStation 3 in weekly sales.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of Nintendo DS units sold. It’s clear from this data that the DS Lite has far surpassed the sales of the original DS. Although the DSi is still far behind the sales of even the original system, after less than two months on the market it sits at nearly a million sold, indicating that it could prove to be another hit for Nintendo.

Noted! Thanks for spotting that.
I guess Tennis is a more popular sport than herding little creatures in Japan.
I heard that a thought behind the DSi is that while the DSL was one per household the DSi contains many personal features so that every user in a household will want to have his own instead of using a shared one.
