PSP Rises, DS Falls in Japan (Last 6 Months)

Famitsu publisher Enterbrain shared a report today on the first half of the year in games over in Japan. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who keeps up on Japanese sales trends, but the PSP was the star of the show.

Sony sold 1.96 million PSP units over the first six months of 2008. This put it atop the hardware heap -- the first time the system has managed this feat for sales taken over a half year period. Perhaps more notable is that the system doubled its sales over the same period one year ago.
