DSi in Japan - the numbers are in
 
And they’re pretty good - better than the first week sales for the DS Lite and the PSP-2000. DS Lite sales were hugely down, as you’d expect. Overall, the DSi outsold the PSP by more than three-to-one, though you’d expect that for a debut. Elsewhere, the PS3 had a significant spike for GTA and LittleBIGPlanet, but perhaps not as much as some at Sony might have hoped. Meanwhile, the Wii’s starting to struggle a bit - the release of Animal Crossing should bolster sales for a little while, but it’s not doing amazing numbers.
The full figures can be seen below.
DSi 171,925
PSP 50,358
PS3 39,587
Wii 23,123
DS Lite 16,369
PS2 6,714
Xbox 360 6,119

That is certainly better than the first week. But when it comes out here, I think I’ll stick to my DS Lite.
When ACWii comes out expect those Wii sales to shoot right back up! lol
Although I don’t see how Nintendo could keep the momentum going past the holiday season, there’s just not that many good (or even hyped) games coming out for the Wii.

Three words: Wii. Sports. Resort.
Will be massive. Everywhere.

Touche. But there’s still no firm release date for that.
It does looks good (mainly the sword-fighting bit :D) and I’m hoping Nintendo do a bundle sort of thing where you can get 2 Motion+ add-on things with the game for cheaper than you would separately. That’d be sweet!
Oh and no matter how big Resort gets, it won’t beat the original Wii Sports!
