On the hardware front, this week the list is as follows:
1.) PlayStation Portable - 61,181
2.) Nintendo DS - 57,398
3.) Wii - 41,109
4.) PlayStation 3 - 9,508
5.) PlayStation 2 - 9,045
6.) Xbox 360 - 5,359
In terms of first day sales, the DS remake of the original NES Fire Emblem has sold 80,000 units, whilst Tales of Vesperia on Xbox 360 sold 70,000 and 10,000 special hardware bundles. Compared to the three GBA Fire Emblems, this DS game has started very well, since The Sealed Sword sold 126,267 in its entire first week, Blazing Sword did 109,429 and The Sacred Stones accrued 146,026 sales. Therefore, Fire Emblem DS with its strong start should hopefully be able to at least match The Sealed Swords's 120,000+ sales.
