According to Famitsu's Japanese game sales report for the month of June, the DS console product line continues to take top honors in Japan, netting sales of over 500,000 units for its fifthteen consecutive month. Second place on the June hardware sales chart also went to Nintendo for the Wii. Nintendo's hardware sales are believed to be a major factor in increasing Japanese game industry sales by 25 percent but the company's competitors, not to mention a 7.5 percent growth in game sales, also played their part. Sony would claim the next three spots on the hardware sales rankings with the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, in that order. Of the next-gen consoles, Microsoft's Xbox 360 came last in Japan.
