This week, Japanese hardware sales held steady – like an abandoned puppy waiting for its heartless master – only shuffling a lonely limb or two as needed to survive. Yeah. You’re reading about Japanese videogame hardware sales, and real, saucer-eyed canines are out there somewhere without even a sweater to their names.

Sickening.

Here are the figures:

• DSi – 53,483
• PSP – 34,256
• Wii – 21,016
• PS3 – 18,656
• DS Lite – 14,810
• Xbox 360 – 9,833
• PS2 – 5,332

Thanks, Chart Get.

Media Create‘s updated its weekly sales charts to confirm that DSi sold 172,000 units of Nintendo’s initial 200,000 shipment.

PS3 had an amazing week relative to recent performance, presumably in thanks to the release of GTA IV, up from 3,931 last week to over 39,500 units sold.

Last week’s data here. Chart for the week ending November 2

• DSi – 171,925
• PSP – 50,358
• PS3 – 39,587
• Wii – 23,123
• DS Lite – 16,369
• PS2 – 6,714
• Xbox 360 – 6,119

Bloody hell. PS3 sales collapsed further in Japan this week, falling below the 4,000 mark for the first time.

PSP sales came back to earth after a monster previous week, and 360 held steady.

Last week’s charts here. Data for the week ending October 26.

• PSP – 60,467
• Wii – 24,292
• DS – 22,965
• Xbox 360 – 7,844
• PS2 – 6,962
• PS3 – 3,931

Latest Media Create figures have shown that PS3 sales have actually dropped in Japan, down from last week’s all-time low. Xbox 360′s looking positively perky by comparison.

It’s all good for PSP, however. Data for week ending October 19. Last week’s charts here.

• PSP – 159,816
• DS Lite – 29,839
• Wii – 26,024
• Xbox 360 – 7,856
• PS2 – 7,261
• PS3 – 4,725

Oh dear. Xbox 360 has yet again outsold PS3 in Japan, with the Sony machine hitting its lowest weekly figure yet, according to teh internets.

This is 360′s fourth week ahead of PS3. Before the 360 massive gets too excited, it’s worth pointing out that PS2 outsold them both.

Last week’s charts here. Data for the week ending October 5.

• DS – 42,385
• PSP – 26,045
• Wii – 25,330
• PS2 – 8,618
• Xbox 360 – 8,271
• PS3 – 7,232

Blimey. Media Create sales have shown Xbox 360 beating PS3 for a third week straight in Japan, and with the Microsoft console having also racked up a win over the Sony machine in the entire month of September, it’s going to be all smiles in the green camp this morning, no doubt.

Wii and DS cream it, obviously. When don’t they? Last week’s figures here. Data for the week ending September 28.

• DS – 57,847
• Wii – 26,314
• PSP – 25,671
• Xbox 360 – 11,291
• PS2 – 9,848
• PS3 – 8,275

Shocking but true. Media-Create figures have shown that 360 has beaten PS3 in Japan for the second week in a row. Stranger things have happened. Although if you’d suggested this would be going on a few years ago, a great many people would have laughed in your face.

Data for the week ending September 21. Last week’s figures here.

• Nintendo DS – 61,242
• Wii – 29,921
• PSP – 28,674
• Xbox 360 – 13,777
• PlayStation 3 – 8,156
• PlayStation 2 – 7,720

Media Create figures have shown that Xbox 360 didn’t outsell Wii in Japan last week, as you can see at the bottom of the stats service’s site.

The figures that showed the Microsoft machine in front were from Enterbrain, the company that publishes Famitsu.

Here’s the Media Create chart. Data for the week ending September 14.

• DS – 63,859
• PSP – 30,156
• Wii – 29,686
• 360 – 28,188
• PS3 – 8,053
• PS2 – 7,669

Everything’s down a lot compared to last week. We won’t pretend to know why. Thanks, Media Create.

• DS – 55,995
• PSP – 47,604
• Wii – 35,173
• PS3 – 9,020
• PS2 – 8,420
• Xbox 360 – 3,551

DS reigns supreme in Japan at the moment, although it’s handheld rival, Sony’s PSP, isn’t too far behind. PS3 only just outsold PS2, and Microsoft can be left to wonder what might have been if more 360s were available in the region.

Full list below:

• DS Lite = 78,666
• PSP = 64,413
• Wii = 53,036
• PS3 = 11,393
• PS2 = 10,168
• Xbox 360 = 7,358

Thanks, NeoGaf.

It appears signing up exclusive RPGs wasn’t the stupidest thing Microsoft could have done in Japan. Xbox 360 sold almost 25,000 units in the past week on the back of Namco’s Tales of Vesperia, dwarfing a PS3 struggling to maintain even 10,000 per week.

PSP’s firmly in charge of the Japanese hardware charts this week, and any bump felt by PS3 from MGS4 is seemingly over, with the machine back down to around 10,000 per week. Last week’s charts here. Data for the week ending July 20. Thanks, Media Create.

Media Create has published the latest Japanese hardware charts, and Sony’s PSP is still sitting pretty in first place. It’s big brother, PlayStation 3 is down by a couple of thousand whilst Xbox 360 still hovers closely to the 5,000 mark. No real change elsewhere.
