The PSP Is Still An Absolute Monster In Japan.

The fiscal year — which ended, like, overnight — has concluded with PlayStation 3 on top of the Wii, and the PSP on top of the DS. Enterbrain notes that this is the first time both Sony platforms have come out on top.

The PlayStation Portable was the best selling platform of 2010 domestically, scooping a whopping 2.6 million sales. The DS finished up second with a tally of 2.5 million units. In the home console stakes, PS3 managed 1.4 million units, roughly 10,000 units ahead of the Wii.
