"Chased by a group of adorably deformed but club-wielding golfers, the PlayStation 3 has finally crossed the one million mark in Japan -- 1,017,689 systems have been sold. Everybody's Golf 5, or Hot Shots Golf 5 as your Western mind may recognize it, debuted in the second spot in the Japanese software sales chart with 152,379 copies sold. It was beaten only by a certain portly plumber's eighth party, which was attended by 264,953 people. The golf game helped push the PS3's sales up to 28,829 units, a high number when compared to those of recent weeks, but not so much when compared to the considerably cheaper competition. The Xbox 360 also saw a boost to slightly less abysmal sales, an event you can likely blame on the software chart's number seven. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion broke into the listing with 40,168 copies sold. - DS Lite: 150,494  3,965 (2.57%) - Wii: 77,169  9,617 (11.08%) - PSP: 35,068  2,174 (6.61%)- PS3: 28,829  16,642 (136.56%)  - PS2: 11,757  2,302 (16.37%) - Xbox 360: 3,872  1,208 (45.35%) - Game Boy Micro: 263  52 (16.51%) - GBA SP: 228  106 (86.89%) - Gamecube: 102  29 (22.14%) - DS Phat: 90  45 (100.00%)- GBA: 41  17 (70.83%)[Source: Media Create]See also: Previous Japanese hardware sales charts"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
