Thanks to recent price cuts, overall sales of the Wii and the PSP tripled last week in Japan.
Nintendo cut the price of the popular Wii console by 20 percent and Sony slashed the price of their handheld by 15 percent, both hoping to see a spike after months of slowing sales.
Both consoles were helped by releases of popular games, Gran Turismo for the PSP and Wii Fit Plus for the Wii.
PSP sales were up to 49,000 units, from 15,000 last week and Wii sales were up to 32,000 units, up from 10,500 last week.
