After a bit of a shake up in Japanâs weekly hardware contest, things return to ânormal,â with the PSP and PlayStation 3 sitting atop the charts, Nintendo proudly taking the middle and one platform veering closer to obscurity.
This is the first week that the PSPgo managed to sell less than a thousand units in Japan, according to sale tracker Media Createâs numbers. That canât be good. Admittedly, itâs a slow week across the board, but maybe a price drop is needed to keep this platformâwhich accounts for a wee 3.4% of all PSP sales this weekâfrom falling even lower.
For the week of May 1o to May 16, hereâs how the console war in Japan went down.
PSP â 24,475
PlayStation 3 â 20,463
Wii â 17,570
Nintendo DSi LL â 15,879
Nintendo DSi â 9,990
Xbox 360 â 4,370
Nintendo DS Lite â 2,695
PlayStation 2 â 1,293
PSPgo â 871
