Playstation 3 Outsells Wii In Japan

Sony's Playstation 3 outsold Nintendo's Wii in Japan over a four week period that ended earlier this week, according to a Reuters article. The lead was a slim one - 183,217 to 159,193 - but is nonetheless a major milestone for the former console war kings.

Sony, which launched the consoles a year ago, sold 183,217 PS3 in Japan in the four weeks to November 25, topping sales of 159,193 Wii consoles, according to game magazine publisher Enterbrain, a key watcher of trends in the sector.

Sony dominated the game industry for about a decade with previous generations of its PlayStations but lost its crown to the low-cost Wii with its new idea of a motion sensor in the control unit.
