VGChartz Report: Americas Sales for the Week Ending March 22

While no title debuted as strongly as Super Smash Brothers Brawl did last week, software sales remain high this week. Hardware sales, except for the DS, are up significantly as well this week. Nintendo’s two platforms, Wii and DS outsold all other platforms combined this week. Wii in particular saw enormous sales; over 225,000 units were sold, nearly double from last week. DS sales were down from the previous week, a trend that is likely to continue until more compelling software or a new price cut arrive. Behind DS, the four remaining platforms sold between 75,000 and 95,000 units. Xbox 360 hit 92,000 on the strength of the new Tom Clancy Game, while PS3, PS2, and PSP all sold about 80,000 units. PS2 and PS3 sold almost identically for the week, at ~82,200 and ~82,900 respectively.
