Though Wii manages to outsell Sony’s PS3 by a ratio of over 3-to-1
The PSP’s resurgence has continued in Japan, with Sony’s handheld trumping all other hardware opponents in the March sales battle, Reuters reports.
PSP sold 415,415 units throughout the month, way ahead of rival DS – though Nintendo’s machine still sold an impressive 255,124 in the period. The PSP was boosted by the release of Capcom’s hugely popular Monster Hunter Freedom 2G.
Elsewhere in the market, Nintendo’s Wii trounced quasi-rival PS3 with sales of 265,542 – Sony sold 81,579 consoles in the period. Both, however, were way ahead of Microsoft Xbox 360 which sold of 13,127.

Unusual times.
All this proves is that Sony is not having it their way this time around.
A shame really, because it's all their own making.
Re: Unusual times.
you mean in regards to the PS3 I assume,,,obviously Sony would be happy with the PSP sales!
Re: Unusual times.
the ps3 is still selling more quickly than the ps2 did so I don't think sony are too worried
Re: Unusual times.
Well its only taken the PSP three years to get these sales, but I don't think Sony are worried about their PS3 sales cause they know that some really awesome games are coming out for it that will boost its sales.
