Last weeks Japanese console and game sales figures have rolled in, and in a fantastic role reversal the PS3 has outweighed both the Xbox 360 and Wii sales. To be precise the PS3 sold 6 and a half times as many units as the 360 and almost double the amount of the Wii.

So after many weeks of slow sales for the PS3, the release of GTA IV and Little Big Planet have breathed a new breath of life into the beast that is the PS3. And with the lineup of games currently heading to the ps3 sureley things can only keep getting better for this powerful system.

But overall Nintendo was still leading the market with the release of its new version of the handheld DS, the DSi. And as there are mass shortages all over Japan with nowhere near enough units to meet the buyers demands we can only see the sales increasing for the coming weeks.

Here is a list of top 5 selling consoles and the top 5 selling games in Japan in the week ending 2nd of November:

Consoles:

1. DSi - 171,925 sales
2. PSP - 50,358 sales
3. PS3 - 39,587 sales
4. Wii - 23,123 sales
5. DS Lite - 16,369 sales

Games:

2. Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One - 79,760 sales
3. Little Big Planet - 51,705 sales
