Initial surge dies down while Halo 3 prompts better 360 numbers
The Sony PlayStation Portable is still selling will in Japan, prompted by the release several weeks ago of the Slim & Lite unit, although numbers have fallen significantly from last week as the initial surge quietens.
According to the latest information from Media Create the handheld sold 102,809 units in the week ending September 30, with Nintendo's DS holding steady on just over 72,000, and the Wii static on 24,000.
The PlayStation 2 and 3 both picked up slightly week on week, but while the Xbox 360 still held sixth position, the release of Halo 3 prompted its numbers to more than triple.
The hardware sales figures in full:
1. PlayStation Portable: 102,809
2. Nintendo DS: 72,925
3. Nintendo Wii: 24,143
4. PlayStation 3: 13,105
5. PlayStation 2: 12,980
6. Xbox 360: 5215
