The battle between Sony and Nintendo in Japan is, once again, pretty darn even. Continued strong sales of the PSP gives Sony first place, with Nintendo’s DS doing what it does best: Sell! Sell! Sell!
The PlayStation 3’s been ahead of the Wii for a little while now, at least on a weekly basis. Can Sony’s console ever catch up? Perhaps not at this rate, since it moved close to 5,000 units more than Nintendo’s console, but when the PS3 starts to drop a bit more in price, we could see some interesting shifts.
According to sales tracker Media Create, here’s how the weekly Japanese console war went down last week.
PSP – 30,761
PlayStation 3 – 19,907
Nintendo DSi LL – 19,076
Nintendo DSi – 16,345
Wii – 15,031
Nintendo DS Lite – 4,328
Xbox 360 – 2,915
PlayStation 2 – 1,363
PSP go – 809
