    Default Current game and hardware sales Japan

    Software

    1. Another Century's Episode - PS2 - 180,885 - 180,885
    2. Radiata Stories - PS2 - 174,281 - 174,281
    3. Biohazard 4 - GC - 142,025 - 142,025
    4. Yoshi Touch & Go - NDS - 63,733 - 63,733
    5. Digital Devil Saga - PS2 - 51,246 - 51,246
    6. Death by Degrees - PS2 - 36,683 - 36,683
    7. Monster Hunter G - PS2 - 26,206 - 154,052
    8. Gran Turismo 4 - PS2 - 23,524 - 907,949
    9. Wario Ware: Touched! - NDS - 22,817 - 358,179
    10. Super Mario 64 DS - NDS - 19,824 - 638,601

    Hardware

    1. PSP - 74,405 - (267,602) - [749,854]
    2. PlayStation 2 - 58,673 - (305,285)
    3. Nintendo DS - 43,226 - (249,922) - [1,745,518]
    4. Game Boy Advance SP - 11,589 - (114,046)
    5. GameCube - 8,214 - (40,751)
    6. Xbox - 467 - (2,650)
    7. Game Boy Advance - 399 - (3,038)

    Based on these numbers, it's safe to assume that Resident Evil 4 is off to a good start. Furthermore, the PSP continues to gain steam, but the Nintendo DS is yet to be truly challenged with an easy one-million unit lead over Sony's handheld.

    Dude, they are both new systems, and the DS was released over a month before the PSP. No shit they have a lead x_x

    I was mistaken, but the DS launched in Japan on Dec. 2nd. The PSP? Dec. 12th. Ten days actually ... and with a hardware shortage, something the DS didn't have to contend with.

    Wow, I recognize all those games except the #1 seller. What the hell is "Another century's episode?"

    I could be mistaken, but I think it's a mecha game, possibly with famous mecha (Gundam?).

    Anyway, hooray for Radiata Stories. :) I guess I'm one of those 174,281, but my copy still hasn't arrived. :(
