As reported by Ars Technica, sales of the PSP have surpassed DS and Wii sales in Japan. Also, popular Playstation 2 game "Gundam Mosou Special" have surpassed everybody's favorite Nintendo game, "Super Smash Bros Brawl" -- which, obviously, is still popular too, just not as popular as Gundam. I think it's weird that it's a Playstation 2 game and not a PS3 game.
