I have to admit, that upon first glance of this chart I did a double take. Okay, fine…it was more like a quintuple take. My eyes first glanced over to see the PS3's sales and much to my surprise, Japan is loading up on more PS3s than PS2s; by a considerable amount too! Likewise, PSP seem to have skyrocketed in sales. While not quite Nintendo DS levels, Sony's handheld is suddenly beginning to move units in 6-digit hordes. Sales of both the PSP and PS3 are incredibly impressive considering that they're both much more expensive than their respective Nintendo competitors.
