PS3, PSP Top Japan

Sony continued its dominance over in Japan this past week, topping Media Create's hardware and software charts.

For the week covering March 9 through March 15, PS3 topped the software chart once again, now the third week in a row. Koei did the honors this time, with the newly released Warriors Orochi Z selling 112,283 units, but continued sales of Yakuza 3 and Resident Evil 5 gave the system three top 10 placers.

The full top 10 is as follows:
  • 1. Warriors Orochi Z (Koei, PS3): 112,283
  • 2. Resident Evil 5 (Capcom, PS3): 61,483
  • 3. 3D Picross (Nintendo, DS): 38,056
  • 4. Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! (Nintendo, DS): 37,907
  • 5. Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce (Koei, PSP): 33,255
  • 6. New Play Control Pikmin 2 (Nintendo, Wii): 28,706
  • 7. Yakuza 3 (Sega, PS3): 23,815
  • 8. Seventh Dragon (Sega, DS): 22,341
  • 9. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G PSP the Best (Capcom, PSP): 16,209
  • 10. Resistance (Sony, PSP): 15,651
In addition to Warriors Orochi Z, 3D Picross, Pikmin and Resistance were all new this week. Sonic and the Black Knight debuted on the Wii this week down at 30, beaten by a budget version of Idol Master on the Xbox 360.

PSP topped the hardware charts for the second week in a row, presumably fueled by continued sales of the recent batch of colors. PS3 managed to hold its own as well, topping the console pack and also beating the DSi.

The full hardware chart is as follows, with last week's sales in parentheses.

  • PSP: 43,463 (59,568)
  • PS3: 28,014 (39,835)
  • DSi: 27,564 (32,102)
  • Wii: 17,941 (16,560)
  • DS Lite: 11,571 (11,240)
  • X360: 8,378 (14,994)

Nintendo DS highest-selling games device in Australia in Q3; PS3 the lowest

More than 140,000 DSs sold down under between July-September; PS3 at the bottom of the sales charts. Nintendo's recent hardware dominance has seen its share price reach record highs , and it seems that Aussies haven't been immune to the House of Mario's resurgence. New figures from industry tracker GfK Australia show that Nintendo had the highest-selling portable games device (the DS) and the highest-selling next-generation console (the Wii) down under in the last three months, easily eclipsing Sony and Microsoft. The Nintendo DS was far and away the highest-selling games device in Australia between the start of July and the end of September, selling close to 140,000 units.

Bottom 10 SNES Games

April 1, 2008 - Welcome to IGN Retro's new weekly countdown of the strange, silliest, and best moments in classic gaming: Top 10 Tuesday. But don't let that "top" part lull you -- we'll point out just as much infamy on these lists as we do the good stuff. Many hardcore gamers regard the Super Nintendo as one of the best videogame systems ever. Ev-ah! To that kind of hyperbole, IGN Retro says: Pish-posh. The SNES was a great system, but it is no Colecovision. It's no Vectrex. It's no TurboGrafx-16. All systems the refuge of true hardcore gamers. That's not to say there aren't a few good games for the SNES. But no system since the Atari 2600 has hosted so much shovelware as the SNES. And it's time we called out some of the worst offenders on this system that the hardcore crowd loves to defend to the death on message boards 'round the Intertron 3000. 10) Mario Kart A s much as we love Double Dash!! around these here parts, 7.9 is far too g...
