The DS section takes up 13 pages while the PSP section spans a measly 4 pages. The Wii is notable because it's the only gaming system which garnered two perfect 10s for Dairantou Smash Bros X and 428 ~Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de~. The PS3 had one perfect 10 game in MGS4. As a comparison, there were no NDS games which scored perfect 10s in 2008.
