The Nintendo DSi is still the best-selling platform in Japan, with its camera-less predecessor similarly selling in the tens of thousands. But Sony’s PlayStation 3 saw the biggest gains this week, thanks to Konami.
The developer-publisher’s World Soccer Winning Eleven 2009 sold over 168,000 copies in Japan last week, helping to double PS3 hardware sales to nearly 35,000 units. A pretty big improvement from its October lull.
Wii sales were also way up, by more than 14,000 units.
The full hardware sales tally from Nov. 24 to 30 was:
• Nintendo DSi – 87,185
• PSP – 55,090
• Wii – 49,848
• PlayStation 3 – 34,978
• Nintendo DS – 26,851
• Xbox 360 – 11,423
• PlayStation 2 – 5,628
