[Demon_Skeith]

Here's the full top 10 software chart for the week of 1/11 to 1/17:

* 1. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (Square Enix, PSP): 177,000 (623,000)
* 2. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo, Wii): 139,000 (3,006,000)
* 3. Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles (Capcom, Wii): 73,000
* 4. Friend Collection (Nintendo, DS): 55,000 (2,651,000)
* 5. Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo, Wii): 42,000 (1,516,000)
* 6. Tekken 6 (Namco Bandai, PSP): 25,000
* 7. Last Window (Nintendo, DS): 25,000
* 8. Zelda Spirit Tracks (Nintendo, DS): 22,000 (489,000)
* 9. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, Wii): 22,000 (1,691,000)
* 10. Inazuma Eleven 2 (Level-5, DS): 22,000 (1,033,000)


In hardware, PSP continued to both dominate and falter. The standard PSP remained atop the chart, presumably still fueled by Kingdom Hearts. PSP go, however, remained the lowest selling system on the chart as it approached the 1,000 range.

* PSP 71,186 (145,682)
* Wii 57,349 (76,772)
* PS3 35,156 (61,591)
* DSi LL: 30,418 (45,221)
* DSi: 27,292 (50,178)
* DS Lite: 6,574 (10,067)
* Xbox 360: 4,622 (5,461)
* PS2: 2,580 (3,092)
* PSP go: 2,027 (2,841)

I don't understand why the PSP is doing better NOW. Most of it's better games are older. True, a lot of fun games now, but some of the older ones are better. I see that the PS3 is picking up better...
