According to weekly sales figures from Media Create in Japan, Microsoft has beat Sony on its home turf for the second week in a row. Reduced to nearly half of its console sales last week Microsoft was still able to inch out the PlayStation 3 in the Land of the Rising Sun. Of course, Nintendo's DS and Wii one-two-combo remained at the top with Sony's PSP landing comfortably in third. Sales figures, according to Media Create for last week look like this:
- Nintendo DS - 61,242
- Wii - 29,921
- PSP - 28,674
- Xbox 360 - 13,777
- PlayStation 3 - 8,156
- PlayStation 2 - 7,720
On the software side, the Xbox 360 exclusive
Infinite Undiscovery fell to #13 in its second-ish week of release with timed-exclusive
Tales of Vesperia down to #28. Along with the two recently released titles the Xbox 360 received a price drop that is assumed to be a huge factor in the figures. Or Japanese gamers now love the Xbox. Yeah, that
has to be it.

Phillip,
It's called a "hand-held". Somewhat different then a "console". MS doesn't have a handheld to compete with the DS or PSP.
Apples and oranges my friend.
