Another week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 1/7-1/13

Sales for all systems predictably tumbled last week as Japan's holiday shopping season came to an end. That's not all that dropped, though; the Wii also slipped to third place, while the PSP claimed the second spot. Although the hardware sales reflect Japan's portable-mania, the software sales once again scream Nintendo.

Since we already knew about Wii Fit's million accomplishment, there wasn't much surprise in the software charts. Super Mario Galaxy, however, finally fell out of the top ten as it makes it way toward the million mark.

Hardware:

• DS: 103,000

• PSP: 84,000

• Wii: 82,000

• PS3: 34,000

• PS2: 15,000

• Xbox 360: 5,500
