14 DAY TRIAL // Despite the fact that Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow for the Nintendo DS managed a very good performance in its first week on sales sales of the Nintendo handheld actually saw a slight decline over the previous week, meaning that the PlayStation Portable from Sony is the best sold individual console model on the Japanese market.
The PSP managed to sell 26,786 units, which is about two thousand more than during the previous week, with the DSi LL from Nintendo, the most recent upgrade to the handheld line, saw a dip from 28,916 to 25,884.
