Wii outselling PlayStation 3 two-to-one in JapanDVDBack23 @ Apr 04, 2007 15:20 | 14 comments
Bloomberg news reported that approximetely 2 million Wii consoles have been sold in Japan since its launch on December 2 while only 812,000 PS3 units have been sold since it went on sale on November 11th.
Although that is a large gap, it seems that the sales gap is narrowing as time moves on. In January, the company Media Create reported that the ration of Wii sales compared to PS3 sales was 4-to-1.
Japanese sales figures for the Xbox 360 were not released but in general sales fail to top four figures according to Enterbrain.

Comment by: NexGen76 (Apr 05, 2007 19:59) Quote: LMAO....That is so true that why i feel that lead they got on console race is closing quick because if you can't sell good in one of the biggest markets your doom.
Quote: Read it again it said that the gap has closed so whats to defend? |
Comment by: diableria (Apr 07, 2007 14:24) itd take an idiot to buy a ps3 right now considering 90% of its available games suck and its very expensive, xbox 360 offers way more and offers a ridiculous amount of interesting games, ill buy a ps3 when its cheap and theres at least 50 interesting games probably in 4 years |
