Hardware sales rankings were static week-on-week in Japan, as sales of Nintendo's DS line of handhelds once again secured the top spot, with the PSP following in second, Media-Create said Friday.
For the week ended February 14, the Nintendo DS line of hardware -- which includes the DS Lite, DSi, and the DSi LL -- sold 51,327 units, down only slightly from a total of 52,606 a week prior. Individually, the DSi LL sold 27,586, the DSi 18,802, and the DS Lite 5,659.
Broken down by model, the PSP-3000 was again the top-selling individual piece of hardware, moving 39,293 for the week. The UMD-less PSP Go continued its ongoing downward sales slide, selling only 1,394 units for a total PSP family unit count of 40,687.
On the home console front, Wii was tops with 37,501 units sold, only slightly below PSP-3000. PlayStation 3 sales stayed relatively static at 24,811, and Xbox 360 dropped slightly to 3,428.
