This week’s Japanese hardware sales figures have been released, and despite a general drop in sales for pretty much all consoles, it’s good to see the DS back on top, outselling the PSP by 9,000 units (56,000 to 47,000). Wii was once again in third, sinking slightly to 35,000 consoles sold, with PS3 and Xbox 360 way back on 9,000 units and 3,500 units respectively.

It’s traditionally a slow time for hardware sales, but things should pick up in the coming months - Wii Music will be a big seller in October, while the DS will get a huge boost from Pokemon Platinum in two weeks’ time.
