Additonal Info:
Weekly sales of Sony’s PlayStation Portable in Japan have continued to maintain a hold over competing consoles for the period September 24 - 30, despite an overall drop in 175,000 units sold from the previous week.
As previously documented, sales of the handheld skyrocketed on the strength of the new Slim and Lite model, which launched September 20. Numbers were also boosted by the aid of a special limited edition version marking the release the PSP-exclusive, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which launched a week earlier.
Sony announced Thursday that overall sales of the unit in the region have now surpassed the 580,000 mark in the two weeks since its release, beating out sales of the original model over a similar fortnightly period in December 2004.
Elsewhere, PlayStation 3 managed to outsell its predecessor by a small margin, while Microsoft’s Xbox 360 breached the 5,000 sales mark thanks to the release of Halo 3.

psn id: gingo.... this scenario looks really good for playstation in japan and with the imminent price drop with a 40 gig ps3 it should increase sales in the rest of the world
Whats a Game Boy Micro!? And is the GBA still selling!! And how come the original DS (didn't even know there were 2) only sell 30!? Man, there must've been something i missed!
I think the PS3 interest is going up due to the fact that people are enjoying FF on there PSP's and they know the only console they can get it on is the PS3 and a rather good showing of games as TGS
Are people still buying the GBA? *Gives hearty laugh*
The trend isn't surprising, the Final Fantasy brand sells big in Japan and like myself, many will buy the PSP just so they can get their hands on Crisis Core. After the brief furore, DS will dominate again methinks.
sony is still dominating with psp and ps2, its not like their losing money, the ps3 is slowly regaining speed and they will come out on top soon.
Just wait and see what happens to the PS3 numbers when Final Fantasy content is released...
Or god forbid they actually do the FF7 remake!
Wow didn't think this would happen so close to the holidays. :) I guess their is strong vigor in making the PS3/PSP as dominant as they can and making sure Nintendo has intense competition to deal with by the end of 2007.
They forgot to add the original Xbox numbers:
Game Boy micro - 229
GameCube - 73
GBA SP - 49
GBA – 41
DS – 30
Xbox - 2
