PS3 Outsells Wii In Japan

[Ascended_Saiyan]

It seems the PS3 has outsold the Wii by over 20,000 units in Japan!

Here's the story.

For the week ending November 11, Media Create figures put PS3 sales at 55, 924, while Wii only managed 34,546.

This is great news for Sony, whose sales were probably helped along by the recent release of Dydnasty Warriors 4 - the latest in the mundane hack-'em-up that those guys seem to lap up.

The PSP did well, too, with over 58,000 sales - just 20,000 behind the DS with 78,000 sales. Could this be a turning point for Sony? Here's the complete list of hardware sales in Japan for the week ending November 11:

* DS - 78,884
* PSP - 58,964
* PS3 - 55,924
* Wii - 34,546
* PS2 - 9,043
* Xbox 360- 5,817
* GB Micro - 708
* GBASP - 211
* GC - 69
* GBA - 4

Things usually happen in Japan first and then spread abroad. Could this be a sign of things to come all over the globe?

I don't doubt it. The PS3 and Blu-ray are somewhat of a symbiosis (excuse my spelling if it's wrong). There are people getting into Blu-ray because of the PS3, but there are a few people I know who are considering a PS3 because it's a great and cheap Blu-ray player. With the new 40gig version Sony will be taking off worldwide.

It's not bad news for the wii it's really bad for the xbox 360 which is getting its ass kicked by the ps3 and wii. And the 360 had a head start!

This is Japan though, they literally hate the 360 and it's games and it will always have low sales.. The Wii is selling lots of Hardware but with SMG poor sales it's starting to look pretty bad for the Wii. Low SMG sales paint a very big picture, people are buying the Wii because it was so cheap and for games like Wiiplay/sports. Handhelds are taking over in Japan, while consoles have taken the backseat for a while now.
