Media Create has just put out the following hardware sales list for Japan, that represents the period of April 30th – May 6th.

1] 3DS: 91,868 (UP) 17,586 (23.67%)
2] PS3: 23,478 (UP) 2,364 (11.20%)
3] PSP: 20,033 (DOWN) 2,424 (10.79%)
4] Wii: 15,789 (UP) 6,589 (71.62%)
5] Vita: 10,583 (DOWN) 1,716 (13.95%)
6] PS2: 1,611 (UP) 216 (14.48%)
7] Xbox 360: 1,420 (UP) 93 (7.01%)
8] DSi LL: 1,097 (UP) 202 (22.57%)
9] DSi: 814 (UP) 97 (13.53%)

That ratio of almost 9:1 of 3DS to PS Vita can’t be making Sony too happy…or the fact that PSP is pretty regularly beating its successor. Vita is still young though and if it’s like PSP in Japan, in time it will start to catch on. For now though, congratulations to Nintendo on still mastering the handheld market.
