Japanese hardware charts – DSi LL still the rage

By Stephany Nunneley

Media Create has released the Japanese hardware figures for the week of July 5.

Looks like Wii swapped places with PSP last week, but was second to DSi LL.

Even with the handheld number one again, its number fell to normal levels following its price drop.

Same for Xbox 360 as its numbers dropped after the redesign surge two weeks back.

Despite strong software sales for White Knight Chronicles 2, PS3 dropped a bit over last week.

The full hardware results, covering July 5 through July 11, are below with previous week’s sales in parentheses.

Japanese hardware sales:

1. DSi LL – 28,916 (32,661)
2. Wii – 24,604 (21,964)
3. PSP – 24,421 (24,685)
