The success of New Super Mario Bros. Wii gave the Wii system a major push. The system sold over two times the previous week and easily beat out its console competition.

PSP also got a boost, presumably from Phantasy Star and Gundam VS Gundam.

PSP go did not share that boost, and continues to perform below Xbox 360 level just a few weeks after its release. Phantasy Star Portable was available as a download title, but Gundam VS Gundam was not.

Here's the full hardware chart:

* Wii: 106,555
* PSP: 67,880
* PS3: 57,782
* DSi LL: 53,791
* DSi: 51,635
* DS Lite: 8,367
* Xbox 360: 5,314
* PSP go: 3,412
* PS2: 2,277

Funny how a game starts out with Professor Layton's... and it makes the Top 10 of anything.
