The 3DS continues to post impressive numbers in Japan following its recent price cut.
As reported by Andriasang (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/09/01/media_create_charts/), Nintendo's new handheld topped this week's hardware chart by a big margin, selling 60,781 compared to the PlayStation 3's 33,141 in second place.
However, sales of the portable are dropping quickly. It moved 105,639 last week (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-08-24-japan-charts-ps3-price-cut-takes-effect) and 196,077 the week before. Where will it bottom out?
Next came the PSP, then Wii, then DS, all suffering sizeable sales slumps. Here's the full hardware chart:
