PSP retains top spot in Japan
Sony's PlayStation Portable has outsold its hardware rivals in Japan for the week ended June 29, according to figures from Media Create.
The PSP sold 58,861 units, followed by the Nintendo DS at 48,884 units and Wii at 48,480 units.
PlayStation 3 sales fell again as the benefit the console gained from the release of Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4 continues to dwindle, down from 20,336 console unit sales last week to 17,973.
Sony's PS2 sold 7,673 units and Microsoft's Xbox 360 sold 5,104 units.
