Media Crate: Japanese sales figures for March 17 - 23
Looks like the new Pokémon Ranger sequel was enough to bring DS Lite sales to the tops of the charts again, but only just. Both the Wii and DS Lite saw a jump in sales compared to the previous week in Japan. On the software side, Pokémon Ranger topped the charts (selling almost a quarter-million copies), SimCity DS 2 outsold Smash Bros., and Super Mario Galaxy rounded out the bottom of the charts at #50.
- DSL: 65,055 (+11,789)
- Wii: 62,404 (+5,336)
- PSP: 59,833 (+2,182)
- PS3: 12,874 (-3,060)
- PS2: 9,990 (+60)
