    Japanese Hardware Sales Go Down, Down, Down

    With little in the way of new software releases charting in Japan, console and handheld gaming system sales take a dip across the Pacific. Nintendo DSi sales were way down, but one console actually saw a boost.

    That would be the Xbox 360, which is a little bit odd, considering there were no new major releases for the console and only Shin Sangoku Musou 5 Empires for Microsoft's platform managed to chart in the top 50. But that's what sales tracker Media Create says, so we'll believe their figures are accurate.

    For the full line, which you can compare against last week's chart, read on.

    • Nintendo DSi - 38,783
    • PSP - 29,070
    • Wii - 17,177
    • PlayStation 3 - 10,173
    • Xbox 360 - 6,625
    • Nintendo DS Lite - 5,664
    • PlayStation 2 - 4,096
