PSP Takes back Hardware Crown in Japan

The Japanese Media Create charts are out, and its the PSP that's the best selling hardware in Japan knocking the 3DS back into second place. Most system's sales are down a few thousand as we hit the summer quiet slump.


    PSP: 26,373 (29,871)
    3DS: 22,943 (30,233)
    PS3: 22,900 (26,441)
    Wii: 13,068 (12,423)
    DSi LL: 4,811 (4,963)

On the games side, there are a host of Western games infiltrating the Japanese charts which has cramped the PSP's usual dominance with only five games in the top 20. Of those Little Battle Experience is nearing 250,000 sales Steins Gate is approaching 100,000.
