Japanese magazine empire Enterbrain has revealed the country's console sales figures for the first half of fiscal 2007. According to Magic Box, the market has increased by 121.7% on last year, which is good news for everyone, although it would appear that very little of that extra love is flowing in Microsoft's direction...
Nintendo DS - 3.47 million [19.3 million total] PSP - 1.07 million [6.21 million total] Wii - 1.60 million [3.55 million total] PlayStation 3 - 385K [1.20 million total] Xbox 360 - 82K [450K total]
So, the DS is utterly unstoppable... unless you're on a Japanese plane. The country's government has banned wi-fi capable portable devices from flights as the electromagnetic signals they emit may interfere with the craft's navigation instruments (more here). Perhaps they'll be able to work this into the next series of Lost.
