The DS and PSP seem to be in a tooth-and-nail fight for second place. This week, the PSP took back the second spot, but just barely.Hardware:
- Wii: 63,504
- PSP: 53,373
- Nintendo DS: 50,151
- PlayStation 3: 14,060
- PlayStation 2: 9,634
- Xbox 360: 2,001
There were twelve DS games in the top thirty, which is impressive, especially considering the ton of new releases that came out last week. The new software did manage to bump a bunch of DS games out of the top thirty, though, including big names like Professor Layton and Pandora's Box, Dragon Quest IV, and Final Fantasy IV. To see the software placements, make sure to check after the break.

Are there plans to release Etrian II in the US?
I just finished EO and loved it... hoping they translate it.

Yay! Go TMGS 2nd Season! It is just amazing - probably the best DS game I've played in a while.
I've heard good things about the new Harvest Moon as well. Too bad it probably won't hit America until probably 2009.
