PlayStation 3 Stays On Top In Japan, Thanks To Kenshiro & Kazuma

Sony’s PlayStation 3 enjoys its second week atop the pile of consoles being sold in Japan, another 50,000-plus new owners enjoying fresh copies of Hokuto no Ken and Yakuza 4, the country’s current bestselling games. https://kotaku.com/yakuza-flexes-its-muscle-on-ps3-sales-in-japan-5503298 It’s followed closely by the [[link]] PSP, which gets a big week-to-week boost, according to Media Create. In fact, pretty much every console saw an increase in its weekly numbers, even the generally poor performing PSPgo. The digital download-only go performs a rare feat outselling at least one other console this week. (Sure it debuted strong, but the PSPgo has been idling [[link]] at the bottom of the charts for months.)(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/pspgo-gives-playstation-a-big-slice-of-japanese-hardwar-5398939 The pie chart is pretty much Sony’s this week, overtaking the Wii and DS platform. The latter comes pretty close to matching the PSP’s numbers this week when combined, but not enough to claim victory. Here are the numbers for March 22 to 28. PlayStation 3 – 50,448 PSP – [[link]] 46,449 Wii – 36,849 Nintendo DSi LL – 23,188 Nintendo DSi – 17,376 Nintendo DS Lite – 4,995 Xbox 360 – 3,002 PSP go – 1,874 PlayStation 2 – 1,785
