Sony's PSP once again took the top spot in the Japanese dedicated video game hardware sales charts this week, after sales of the Nintendo 3DS fell sharply. For the week ended June 26, according to data from Media Create, as supplied by NeoGAF, the PSP sold 29,189 total units, a decline from 31,796 sold last week. However, the Nintendo 3DS fell even more, dropping down to 27,905 units from 40,649 last week, allowing the PSP to reclaim the top of the chart. Elsewhere, the Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 all saw a decline in sales, while the PS3 saw a slight increase. The Nintendo Wii received a boost of around 3,000 sales over last week. Below are the full sales rankings from Media Create for the week ended June 26, 2011. (The second chart lumps together sales of all models in a given line of hardware.)
