Can nothing stop the Monster Hunter/Mario Kart/Wii Fit monster?

Poor start for Battalion Wars 2, there.

Mario Kart dropped off a bit of a cliff, there. Down over 50%.

On the subject… early hardware numbers:

PSP　56000
Wii　40000
DSL　34000
PS3　7000
PS2　5700
360　1400

If those PS3 numbers end up being right it will be the lowest selling week ever for the console.

Everything’s massively down this week, it seems. Everybody must’ve overspent in Golden Week.
