3DS takes a tumble
For the week ending July 31, PSP was back in the top spot after a few weeks being bested by 3DS, The Sony handheld moved 36,659 units for the week, which is up 9,805 units over last week.
PS3 moved 20,704 units to come in at second place again for the week, but sales were still down by a little over 3,000 units. PS2 sold 1,594 units, and PSPgo managed 7 units for the week.
3DS sales were almost cut in half compared to the prior week with 16,415 units sold and the new handheld fell to its lowest spot on the charts since its debut. This is to be expected though, as the handheld will be getting a price drop soon, so consumers are holding out a bit.
Wii bested 3DS with a third place spot moving 18,232 units, up 1,118 units over the prior week.
Older NDS models moved a combined 10,030 units and Xbox 360 moved 1,616 units which is a gain of 70 units over last week.
