PSP takes top spot in Japanese hardware charts again

By Andrew Yoon

This is becoming a trend, isn't it? Once again, PSP manages to climb its way to the top of the Japanese hardware sales charts, besting even Nintendo's almighty DS and Wii consoles. With 57,651 units sold last week, Sony's handheld is already inching towards selling one million units in Japan this year. The sales spike is surprising, considering the most major release this week was echochrome.

  1. PSP – 57,651
  2. WII – 55,845
  3. NDS – 53,266
  4. PS3 – 14,934
  5. PS2 – 9,930
  6. 360 – 1,744

Undoubtedly Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G will create some more interesting sales charts. We're glad to see PSP is doing so well in Japan — will that success ever translate in the states?
