Japanese games magazine Famitsu have published a list with life to date and year to date sales numbers for the currently available hardware in the land of the rising sun. No surprise to see Nintendo DS in all its variations come out on top, but 30 million units is quite a feat in a land where gaming is said to be on the decline. And some of you may be surprised to see PSP well ahead of Nintendo Wii in second place, but the PSP is also very successful in Japan. And Xbox 360 is struggling as always, but it has managed to beat the geriatric Playstatuion 2 so far this year.
The first number is sales so far in 2010 and the second is total lifetime sales.
