Nintendo DS Lite winning out PSP, Xbox 360 sales (yeah, but all it does is play games!)
The Nintendo DS Lite pounded rival hardware offerings in Japan last week on the strength of New Super Mario Bros.
Media Create Co. reported Friday that the DS Lite sold 285,025 units from May 22 to 28 to soar past every other handheld and console on the market.
By comparison, Sony's PSP sold 27,227 units and Microsoft's Xbox 360 sold 1,242 units in the same period.
The Nintendo DS Lite has been the best-selling hardware offering week after week in Japan on the strength of franchise titles and Touch Generations casual games like Brain Training and English Training.
Nintendo will drop the DS Lite to U.S. retail on June 11.
