Capcom’s Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G was the only PSP title to make the software top ten during the week ended July 13, but a lack of big-selling games didn’t stop Japanese consumers snapping up PSPs.
Sony’s handheld, which has just passed ten million lifetime sales in Japan, sold another 57,000 units last week. In comparison, Nintendo shifted 48,540 DS units and 41,768 Wiis.
While Metal Gear Solid 4 fueled PS3 sales last month, the gap between the console and its predecessor is now pretty slim again on a week-to-week basis – just 2,000 sales separated the pair last week.
Xbox 360 continues to trail the pack, but sales of Microsoft’s system, while down on the previous week’s total, remained higher than the system’s weekly average.
