Wii and PS3 got a nice bunch of sales of Japan for the week ending December 13, with PSP and DSi coming a close third and fourth.

Not looking so great for PSP go down there, is it?

We skipped a week with these, but the data from two weeks ago’s here.

• Wii – 135,898
• PS3 – 75,086
• PSP – 71,885
• DSi – 68,184
• DSi LL – 58,006
• DS Lite – 11,376
• Xbox 360 – 10,646
• PSP go – 3,077
• PS2 – 2,463

DSi LL’s second Japanese week’s seek sales drop well back from its opening 100,000 to 67,000.

Apart from that, looks as though everything’s nicely up, there, aside from PSP go and 360. Hard lines.

Data below for the week ending November 29. Last week’s figures here.

• DSi LL – 67,243
• Wii – 46,673
• PS3 – 46,558
• PSP – 38,839
• DSi – 37,021
• DS Lite – 7,268
• PSP go – 3,809
• Xbox 360 – 3,685
• PS2 – 2,057

You can’t keep new Nintendo hardware down, it seems. DSiLL’s first week sales in Japan have come in at just over 100,000, which is probably “quite good”.

Full thing below for the week ending November 22. Last week’s chart here.

• DSi LL – 100,553
• PS3 – 34,752
• Wii – 32,844
• PSP – 32,752
• DSi – 32,070
• DS Lite – 5,051
• PSP go – 4,574
• Xbox 360 – 4,085
• PS2 – 2,024

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Week ending November 15. PSP and PS3 have seen off both Wii and DS to take first and second place in this week’s Japanese hardware chart, as you can see below.

Big Kaz will be pleased. Watch in awe as the ten-year plan unfolds before your very eyes. Or not. Whatever.

It’s that time again, kids! It’s Japanese hardware sales time!

In a gist: PS3 sales are down by 12k from last week, while the DSi rules the lot as it does most of the time.

Full hardware numbers are below. Last weeks numbers are found here.

• DSi – 63,342
• PS3 – 39,960
• PSP – 17,334
• DS Lite – 15,057

Thanks, Nintendo Everything.

With the Japanese Slim rush over, PS3 sales fell back from over 150,000 last week to 55,000 in the week ending September 13.

Still. Only DSi’s beating it. More thrills next week.

• DSi – 66,498
• PS3 – 55,344
• PSP – 18,375
• Wii – 17,568
• DS Lite – 11,179
• Xbox 360 – 7,568
• PS2 – 2,612

Hot dog. Japanese PS3 sales rose to a spectacular 151,000 last week, thanks to the Slim’s introduction.

That’s it. There’s no other story. Compare this to the 40,000 PS3 sold in its first Slim week in the UK. Looks as though Japan really has been holding out for this.

Data for the week ending September 6. Last week’s chart here.

• PS3 – 151,783
• DSi – 60,419
• PSP – 22,184
• Wii – 21,557
• DS Lite – 8,309
• Xbox 360 – 6,827
• PS2 – 3,001

If you thought last week‘s Japanese PS3 sales were bad, take a look at the latest Media Create figures below. Expect a bit surge in the next set, though, as they’ll include Slim’s launch numbers.

DSi’s doing OK, innit? Data below for the week ending August 30.

• DSi 59,881
• PSP 26,081
• Wii 25,038
• DS Lite 7,304
• Xbox 360 7,254
• PS2 3,179
• PS3 1,040

That’s what announcing a slim console does for you. PS3 racked up a hilarious 2,052 sales in Japan last week, making it the lowest selling games hardware in the market.

Mind you, the only machine it managed to beat in the previous week was PS2.

Data below for the week ending August 23.

• DSi – 59,578
• PSP – 27,187
• Wii – 26,972
• Xbox 360 – 8,979
• DS Lite – 5,735
• PS2 – 3,295
• PS3 – 2,052

DSi’s up in Japan. We don’t know why. We’ve still got pork poisoning from Cologne. Data below for the week ending August 16. Last week’s chart here.

• DSi – 87,936
• Wii – 47,732
• PSP – 39,882
• Xbox 360 – 9,162
• DS Lite – 7,921
• PS3 – 5,944
• PS2 4,907

Monster Hunter 3 clearly isn’t having the prolonged Wii sales affect it might have done in Japan. Wii numbed halved from 95,000 last week to just under 50,000 this week.

DSi, yet again, is the biggest selling Japanese console. Horses, courses, etc. Data below for the week ending August 9.

• DSi – 70,066
• Wii – 47,140
• PSP – 33,893
• DS Lite – 8,699
• PS3 – 5,826
• Xbox 360 – 5,436
