The PlayStation 3 outsold every other gaming system last week in Japan. Convincingly, when it came to home consoles - although the PSP and DSi both gave the system a close run.

With 36,513 sales the PS3 was only a smidgeon ahead of the its nearest contender, the DSi (35,827). When you look down the list for the nearest home system, however, you need to skip over the PSP (35,588 - a hair's breadth from the DSi) to get to the Wii with 17,876.

The credit for the PS3's success has to be given to SEGA's Yakuza 3, which dominated the software chart with an impressive 372,000 sales. The limited edition 'Dragon' PS3 bundle that was released alongside the game won't have hurt hardware sales, either.

You can see the full hardware chart, chronicling the week from 23/02 - 02/03, below.

PS3: 36,513
DSi: 35,827
