PSP Outsells Wii, DS In Japan Once Again

The PSP is certainly on a roll in Japan.

Sony's handheld once again demolished the competition, selling a whopping 70,536 units for the week of May 5 through May 18. The closest hardware competitor was the Wii, which came in at number two with 41,572.

Coming it at three for the week was Nintendo's DS, which cleared 34,905. Next up at four and five were Sony's PlayStation 3 with 7,701 units and PS2 slightly behind at 7,022.

As always, the Japanese are still not fans of Microsoft's Xbox 360, which came in last at a measly 1,474.

On the software front, PSP was the top dog with the juggernaut that is Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G.

The top five software titles for the week in Japan were as follows, courtesy of NeoGAF:

01.[PSP] Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G - 53,248
02.[Wii] Mario Kart Wii - 41,739
