That’s what announcing a slim console does for you. PS3 racked up a hilarious 2,052 sales in Japan last week, making it the lowest selling games hardware in the market.

Mind you, the only machine it managed to beat in the previous week was PS2.

Data below for the week ending August 23.

  • DSi - 59,578
  • PSP - 27,187
  • Wii - 26,972
  • Xbox 360 - 8,979
  • DS Lite - 5,735
  • PS2 - 3,295
  • PS3 - 2,052

It's hardly hilarious when you actually do a bit of research and find that the PS3 is practically sold out in Japan.  Also, I'm sure that a majority of Japanese consumers are more than willing to wait for the slim to drop.  So how about we wait for the slim to drop in Japan and then we can see how hilarious it is when you eat humble pie.
