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.

Why do we only get reports on Japan sales?
+1
its good to see that the ps2 still beats 360......awsome.
cool awsome
People can't spell awesome nowadays...

It was the PS3 that sold 41,796, right?
LOL, I love when the PS2 outsells the 360. As for the PSP, you'd think everyone in Japan would have a DS by now, so buy up some d**n PSPs!!!
@Muzikguy You pretty much took the words out my mouth...It looks like averyone in Japan has a DS now and moving onto the PSP :D But good to see the PSP sales doing so well, and the boost in sales for the PS£ & PS2 is good too!
And why does M$ bother with the 360 in Japan anyways, surely shipping, advertising and production of the 360 far outweighs the money they get from actually selling them!
Hehe, the DS's have flooded the market and teh PSP is getting some great titles
Meh I bet when everyone has a Wii, the PS3 will also increase more in sales. Just like whats happening now with the DS and PSP.
how come everyone is buyin psp's in japan now??
So did it just get a boost for nothing,or some AAA title was released?
awsome awsome awsome f u...
meaning before the visuallys dumb sh**
...if it wasnt for the loud shaved nude chimps in my room id be violently aroused by these figures....
now the PSP takes over the world
They probably only get Japan sales results cause they dont have to pay for it.
wud be gud if they cud get a EXACT, accurate method of finding out the numbers and tht in Europe and US but as long as a PS brand is winning in japan then im happy but i know loads of people in england r taking bak their Chekbox's and getting the ps3 soo u cud say there tht there aint tht many more chexbox's than ps3
psn id: gingo.... most people in japan have a ds now so its not surprising that psp beat it, nice to see ps3 with a decent number of sales again
