Sony doubles hardware sales in Japan, PSP on top

Look at you, Sony! Even Nintendo was pushed down this week in the sales numbers. Both the PSP and the PS3 saw hefty sales increases this week, with the systems taking first and second place in sales respectively.

Some of the boost was likely due to a couple of key games. For the PSP, the Miku fans came out in droves for Hatsune Miku Project Diva 2nd. Gamers also put their guns on for Sengoku Basara 3 for the PS3. The PSP came out on top with 48,603 units sold in one week. The PS3 followed right behind with 45, 224.

Maybe the upskirt PSP thing is still helping.

The exception for Sony was the PSPgo, which it seems like only I love. A miserable 777 units were sold last week in Japan.
