Hardware-wise the big winner was unsurprisingly the DS Lite, which topped 600,000 units sold for the month. These sales accounted for almost 56% of hardware sales for the month. This puts the life-to-date sales for the handheld at 17,152,000 units (this number includes the DS Phat). Meanwhile, Sony's PSP had a strong month as well, topping 120,000 units sold in May.
On the console side of things, the top seller was the Wii, which sold through more than 250,000 units. The Wii was followed by the PS2 at just over 53,000 and the PS3 with around 45,000 units. Rounding out the sales data was the Xbox 360 at 11,000 units and the GBA SP at a little over 2,000 units. According to this data, Nintendo platforms accounted for more than 78 percent of the total hardware sales for the month of May.
In software news, the newly released PS1 remake, Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Senso for the PSP, topped sales charts for May. Following shortly behind was another handheld Square Enix tactical RPG, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for the DS. After these two handheld games was Super Paper Mario for the Wii. Rounding out the rest of the top five were Wii Sports and Momotarou Dentetsu DS: Tokyo & Japan.
