The DS may still be outselling all other consoles put together in Japan, but sales of Sony's consoles were up last week according to the latest figures from Media Create.

During the week ending July 1, PlayStation Portable sales rose by 5000 units to reach 38,305, while 16,316 PS2s were shifted - an increase of 26 per cent.

PlayStation 3 sales were also on the rise, up by 20 per cent to hit 11,914 units.

Although the DS is still going strong sales were down slightly from around 164,000 units to 157,435. Wii sales rose by over 8000 to reach a figure of 73,919 consoles.

Xbox 360 sales are still trailing - just 3154 consoles were purchased last week.

Game Boy Micro and Game Boy Advance sales stood at 377 and 179 respectively.
