Enterbrain: Wii outsold PS3 five to one in Japan during MayDela @ Jun 05, 2007 09:05 | 26 comments According to Enterbrain, a Japanese publisher that tracks video game console sales, Nintendo's Wii games console outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) console by more than five to one during the month of May. The firm said that Nintendo sold about 251,794 Wii consoles in Japan in May, while the PS3 trailed behind with 45,321 sales.
The figures indicate that Nintendo is continuing to extend its lead over Sony in Japan, with the Wii outselling the PS3 by about four to one in April. Nintendo has seen impressive sales for its Wii console across the world since it launched last year, and the company's portable offering, the DS, has seen very strong sales in its market.
Nintendo has sold about 2.49 million Wii consoles in Japan since it was launched back in December. Sony has sold about 928,642 PS3s in the territory since last November.

Comment by: Tecbot (Jun 05, 2007 13:07) if it was a add on then you would of said they copied the 360 cant you min wage workers or fanboys ever stop complaining...its way to early to tell the psx was declared a flop early the ps2 had just as much hate and the ps3 has even more hate than the other two, get off the bandwagon already it became uncool a few month ago. |
Comment by: ThaJazz (Jun 05, 2007 13:50) what does min wage have to do with this it is a debate nothing more nothing less and for you to say that. makes you the real broke edited by ddp.he made a good point if the ps3 hade a standard drive in it the price would be more competitive.so how is he broke for saying that.i bet you dont own a ps3 well i do i own all the console from the last two generations.and just for the record my family owns BRIAD WENCO.do your research and then tell me who makes min wage edited by ddp. |
Comment by: sk8flawzz (Jun 05, 2007 14:01) i wouldnt have said it copied the x360....i wouldve said the x360 copied ps3 HAHA cause the HD-DVD addon came after the ps3 release,

Comment by: MightyOne (Jun 05, 2007 14:28) If sony did make it an addon drive...then could someone not make a HD addon drive for the PS3, thus having the choice between HD and Blueray on a PS3 ?

Comment by: Ankoku (Jun 05, 2007 14:44) Well the reason its not an addon is because they want their games to be on the bluray technology, I mean you cant have a Blu-ray game, without the hardware necessary to play the game. PS3's are probably going to be hard to move for at least a year or two more, but I think eventually, it will take the lead, simply based on the blu ray data figures that have been released for this year so far (In dvd sales) ...personally I think all 3 consoles offer something special, and my leanings are to get all 3, as I have a wii and 360 so far, and am a huge fan of Final Fantasy and other PS related games |
Comment by: sk8flawzz (Jun 05, 2007 14:58) yea imma probly get all 3 as well :) |
Comment by: ChromeMud (Jun 05, 2007 16:05) Buying all three consoles and owning a PC is a waste of money

Comment by: SProdigy (Jun 05, 2007 16:54) I own a 360 and a Wii, and have no plans on buying a PS3 unless something miraculous happens.

Comment by: Ludikhris (Jun 06, 2007 02:18) Does anyone find humor in the fact that no news site pins Wii Vs 360 in Japan? I mean, I realize everyone assumes the 360 will fail there. Imagine the headline though.

Comment by: NexGen76 (Jun 06, 2007 11:12) Lets be honest & not blind to the facts the Wii is selling because it has a low price point not because its better than the 360 or PS3. I'm willing to bet anything that if the other two console was that price it would be selling like the Wii & the Wii would be stuff in a corner in some stores. |
Comment by: spydah (Jun 06, 2007 11:37) NexGen i completely agree. I think its a no brainer when comparing prices. $250 vs $600. There really dont take much to choose the cheaper system with more games. |
Comment by: player110 (Jun 06, 2007 21:50) well think about it if you could buy a PS3 for $399 u would so its a good point been raised here. I have played both of the consoles and there is good and bad things with both. games are exclusive to both of the consoles that is the problem |
Comment by: NexGen76 (Jun 07, 2007 06:26) Quote: Great point thats a major issue also.Most of the 2nd & 3rd party support are going to every Nex-gen consoles & not giving buyer's a real reason to own a certain console. |
Comment by: diableria (Jun 08, 2007 18:34) yea its pure common sense, what kind of a retard would buy such an expensive system like ps3 right now? it lacks good games, it definitily cant compete at the moment with 360 and the cheap ass wii which can turn entertaining, give it a couple of years, im glad people are using their brains. |
