Media Crate: Japanese sales figures for April 7 - April 13
By now, the shock has worn off as the DS continued to trail PSP sales in Japan. The Wii saw a marginal boost in sales, while increasing to nearly 6 times the hardware sales of its nearest home console competitor. On the software side, it was Mario Kart Wii Mania, as the game managed to EASILY take top honors despite launching in Japan more than halfway through the week.
- PSP: 85,721 (-35,243)
- DSL: 47,158 (-8,032)
- Wii: 46,296 (+1,678)
- PS3: 8,232 (-3,071)
