Sony’s PlayStation 3 enjoys its second week atop the pile of consoles being sold in Japan, another 50,000-plus new owners enjoying fresh copies of Hokuto no Ken and Yakuza 4, the country’s current bestselling games.

It’s followed closely by the PSP, which gets a big week-to-week boost, according to Media Create. In fact, pretty much every console saw an increase in its weekly numbers, even the generally poor performing PSPgo. The digital download-only go performs a rare feat outselling at least one other console this week. (Sure it debuted strong, but the PSPgo has been idling at the bottom of the charts for months.)

PlayStation 3 – 50,448
PSP – 46,449
Wii – 36,849
Nintendo DSi LL – 23,188
