Did everyone in Japan suddenly start to decide that they needed a PSP to go with the 5 DS's they already own?

MFJ says they're mostly being exported China and other places

and going by software sales, they make good MP3 players

The Nintedo DS and PlayStation 3 followed, selling 38,355 units, up from 37,404, and 9169 units, up from 9017, respectively.
Sony's PlayStation 2 managed to sell a respectable 7203 units, an increase on last week's 7189 unit sales, while the Xbox 360 lagged behind selling only 1959 units, although this too is an increase on last weeks 1947 units.

Everything is up and it looks like the PSP has become the new DS.

MGS4 outsells nearest rival by over 12-to-1 in Japan - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PS3 News - VideoGamer.com

Quote:

Japanese sales figures for the week ending June 15, reported by Media Create, put Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4 as the runaway leader of the pack, outselling its nearest rival by a margin of 12-to-1.
465,000 units of the PS3 exclusive were sold, compared to only 38,000 units of Mario Kart Wii. So dominant was MGS4 that it outsold the rest of the Top 10 combined (216,000) by 249,000 units.
It's too early for official hardware sales from Media Create, but earlier Enterbrain data reported PS3 hardware to have jumped from a weekly average of 10-12,000 units to 77,000.

Looks like MGS is a console seller in Japan at least.
