    Xbox 360 Outsells PS3 In Japan. Again.

    For the second week in a row, Microsoft outsold Sony on its home turf, with the Xbox 360 beating out the PlayStation 3 on the Media Create weekly sales charts. That's likely due to the console's recent price drop in Japan and the effects of the one-two software punch of Tales of Vesperia and Infinite Undiscovery.

    Xbox 360 sales were essentially halved, week-to-week, but it was still enough to beat out Sony on the console front. Nintendo continued not to notice the PS3 vs. 360 dust-up, instead opting to sell another shitload of hardware.

    • Nintendo DS - 61,242
    • Wii - 29,921
    • PSP - 28,674
    • Xbox 360 - 13,777
    • PlayStation 3 - 8,156
    • PlayStation 2 - 7,720
