There Ain't No Stopping The PSP In Japan Right Now.

Boo to you, the PSP is on friggin' fire. Well, in Japan at least. Last week (ending May 1st), Sony's portable shifted a whopping 76,974 units. That's an impressive number alone, but when you take into consideration that the Nintendo 3DS only managed to shift 28,413 units over the same period, it takes a whole new meaning.

The PSP is absolutely on fire in Japan. Even software is doing great, with nine titles in the top twenty. Final Promise Story and Patapon 3 both took spots in the top five, while El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron on PlayStation 3 took the third spot.

Hit the jump for all the numbers.
