Frank-ProvoMedia Create has released its compiled list of top-selling hardware and software for Japan during the time frame between January 24-30.
Although the Nintendo DS has still sold more hardware and software units in Japan when you factor in the months the systems were on sale in 2004, the PSP has finally started to pull ahead of the DS in terms of weekly sales (suggesting that the shortages are over).
Combining 2004's totals, Gran Turismo 4 has easily eclipsed 3 Million Copies sold (in Japan alone). The game will ship to North America on February 22nd.
