Media Create has revealed that weekly PlayStation Portable sales in Japan have surpassed the DS, after previously falling shy of outselling Nintendo’s handheld by only a few thousand units the week before.
The PSP sold a total of 72,528 machines for the week ended February 4, with the DS selling 67,472 units in the same period. The Wii managed to claim the top spot thanks to a boost in sales on the release of the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros Brawl.
Meanwhile, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 home consoles received a boost in sales, selling 41,796 and 12,115 units each, respectively. Both machines continue to outsell the Xbox 360 on a weekly basis.
