Games for PSP have stolen the show this week in the Japanese sales charts.
New entry Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 takes the top spot, nearly doubling the sales of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 on PSP at two. The PS2 entry for the football series sells around 1000 less to take three.
The DS leads hardware sales, though - although the gap between the handhelds closes every week. Helping the Nintendo cause this week is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time on DS and Wii, which takes spaces five and seven, respectively.
Elsewhere there's little change. In total, DS counts 20 software entries, Wii has 10, PSP has seven, PS3 has six, PS2 has five and Xbox 360 has two.
