40GB PS3 To Beat Wii in Japan?

[Avinash_Tyagi]

The 40GB versions are the white systems, the black are the older versions as I recall

 

I found a relevant article in English.

Our friends over at Gamer.tm are reporting that the new low-spec 40GB PlayStation 3 got off to a shaky start in Japan last week.



The new unit launched in Japan yesterday, and reports suggest around 31,000 units (37,000 PS3s in total) were sold. 0 While such a total will help the console topple the Wii and Xbox 360 for one week, it will hardly be the big bang Sony was hoping for.



The Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper has claimed that no queues formed outside retailers, and that units are still widely available throughout the country. But with the Wii likely to have shifted around 32,000 units and the 360 around 14,000 units, it looks like Sony will be top dog when the figures for the last recorded week are published.

Better, thanks, but still not confirmed (as it says likely shifted 32,000, not that it definetly sold 32,000) with the PS3 number only around 37,000 i'm going to want them to confirm it since its a small difference
