PS3 Beats Wii in Japan for Second Week

The piece of toast that bit you this morning should have given it away, but your stay in the realm of the unexpected has just been extended to a second week. Media Create's hardware sales data for Japan shows that the PlayStation 3 outsold the Wii during the last week, the second time it's managed to do so since the introduction of the cheaper 40GB model. Though overall sales dropped by approximately 30%, the PS3 maintained its third place position with 39,178 units sold, compared to the Wii's 36,230.

The end is surely near.

Finally, some competition. :angel:

White PS3 launched 2 weeks ago. And pricecut. PS3 sales from this week were already less than last week.

So I'm not 'worried'. If I'm worried about anything, it's the Japanese not buying more Super Mario Galaxies! :mad:

In general the Japanese seem to be ALOT less interested in consoles this time around. Look at the portable vs console sales for awhile now. PSP and DS constantly beating the crap out of any consoles. At least partially explains why Japanese aren't buying SMG as much as people in the US are.

But thankfully Sony is realizing for the Japanese that new color + price drop = sales!
