Hell froze over. 360 *just barely* beats the PS3 in Japan.

Story here.

Nintendo DS-78,599
PSP-59,714
Wii-37,617
Xbox 360-17,673
PlayStation 3-17,434

PlayStation 2-10,209
Game Boy Advance SP-206
GameCube-155
Game Boy Micro-113

Did Halo 3 do it? Nope. Lost Odyssey? Not out yet.

What pushed the scales?

Ace Combat 6.

Yeah, I don't quite understand it either, but hey.

Its not a massive difference in sales: 17,673 Xbox 360's vs 17,434 PS3's, and before the 360 sold around 3,718 systems. I guess the Japanese *really* like Ace Combat. Unless shown a compelling reason otherwise, I'd expect the numbers to drop back down as sharply as they jumped.

I'm surprised the Gameboy Micro is on the chart at all, much less the Gamecube. And the portables are making fools out of everyone (never thought I'd say that). Anyhow, neat overall, even if its just for one week.
