For the week of April 21 through April 27, PlayStation Portable
outsold the DS by a two to one margin. The exact numbers were
92,111 for PSP while Nintendo sold 42,435 DS units.
However, on the software side, Nintendo had the upper hand with
thirteen appearances in the top thirty — and the software charts
include all the platforms, including Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. To

Taiko Drum Master DS: Seven Island Adventure, Summon Night,

Beautiful Letter Training were the DS’ entries in the top ten
sellers in Japan for the week.
