While the DSi couldn't match the phenomenal opening sales week it enjoyed in Japan, it still shifted almost 105,000 units to top the hardware chart during the week ended November 9.Sony's handheld again took second place, as PSP sales fell more marginally to 43,000.
The Wii was one of only two systems to see a sales increase, moving almost 25,000 units, while PS3 sales dipped from 40,000 to 18,500.
That was still enough to beat 360 though, despite weekly sales of Microsoft's console doubling to nearly 13,000.
The now plain old DS Lite sold 8,500 units, while the PS2 came last with just under 6,000 sales.
