PSP to DS: I finally beat you! Jerk.

In a turn of events that will undoubtedly send titanic ripples through the lives of avid Japanese hardware sales chart enthusiasts the world over (though given that particular hobby, it's not hard to do), the PSP has finally managed to get through an entire week without coughing and spluttering on the DS' dust. It seems that all that hard training finally paid off, as the PSP crossed the finish line with 133,000 units sold compared to the 91,000 units sold by its nemesis. Although, how proud one can feel about winning over an apologetic, disabled competitor is a matter up for debate.

The guys at gamesindustry.biz also continue to fuel the continuing speculation that the current DS shortage has less to do with the ridiculously high demand and more to with a ridiculously sexy upcoming hardware redesign. Entering another version of the DS into the burgeoning sales charts will certainly be interesting, especially since the PSP and its current game lineup would be ill-equipped to deal with such a dual screen tag-team combo.
