Japan Continues To Be Dominated By Handheld Systems, But The PS3 Remains Strong.

The Wii also recently saw its price cut in recent weeks. The result is a heated contest for supremacy in which the Playstation 3 managed to win this week by just 155 units. We're sure things are only going to get closer next week.

The sales figures for console hardware for the week October 5 to 11 are:

  • Nintendo DSi - 50,144
  • PSP - 40,100
  • PlayStation 3 - 30,896
  • Wii - 30,741
  • Nintendo DS Lite - 5,454
  • Xbox 360 - 3,326
  • PlayStation 2 - 2,133

Once again the handheld market dominates the Japanese region.
