Nintendo's Wii continues to dominate the Japanese console market, according to latest sales figures.
Nintendo sold nearly a quarter of a million machines during August, whilst Sony sold just over 80,000 PlayStation 3s and Microsoft just 11,000 Xbox 360s.
The sales figures, released by Japanese game magazine publisher Enterbrain, confirm a trend seen in other markets.
In the UK, the Wii became the fastest-selling console ever, shifting one million units in just 38 weeks.
In comparison, the world's best selling console, the PlayStation 2, took 50 weeks to reach one million in sales. The Xbox 360 took 60 weeks.
