According to figures from Media Create, Sony's handheld platfrom sold just 213 units more than its Nintendo counterpart to take the top spot in the territory's hardware chart.

The PlayStation 3 continued the momentum it began in March, finishing the week as Japan's top-selling home console.

Weekly sales of all platforms were down from the previous month, with the exception of the Xbox 360, which shifted 2,000 units more compared to the previous week.

The PSP may have taken the top spot in the charts, but Nintendo sold more handheld consoles, with the DS Lite selling an additional 6,869 units.
