The Nintendo 3DS continued to dominate the Japanese hardware sales charts last week, outselling every other console in the charts combined. For the week ended November 13, data from tracking firm Media Create, and as reported by NeoGAF, shows that the Nintendo handheld dropped more than 40,000 sales week-over-week, down to 103,962 in total. However, it still far outsold Sony's PSP and PlayStation 3 consoles, which dropped around 4,000 sales each to 23,472 units and 22,919 units sold respectively. Sales of nearly every console were down, with only the Nintendo Wii maintaining sales figures from the previous week. The DS Lite continued to hold on for dear life at the bottom of the chart, with just 20 sales in total for the entire week. Below are the full sales rankings from Media Create for the week ended November 13, 2011. (The second chart lumps together sales of all models in a given line of hardware.)
