In a surprising turn around vs. last year, PS3's sales in Japan for 2009 have surged, and are now sitting very close to those of the Wii. The numbers break down as follows: The Hardware sold in Japan From 04th Jan 2009 to 24th Oct 2009 : Wii : 1,012,924 PS3 :1,006,810 360 :284,943 Estimates for next week's sales put PS3 over the Wii in Japan as follows: The Hardware sold in Japan From 04th Jan 2009 to 01st Nov 2009 : PS3 :1,044,310 Wii : 1,038,924 360 :294,943 If these numbers turn out to be true (and it isn't a stretch to think they will), Wii will have been beaten on it's home turf in yearly sales for the first time ever. That should definitely serve as a wake up call for Nintendo. Let's hope it lights a fire under them and gets them to release some better software! Goes to prove you can't rely on the casual audience alone.   http://psinsider.e-mpire.com/index.php?categoryid=17&m_articles_articleid=1420 ____________________________ They are using Famitsu numbers I think & VGC projections for next week WELL DONE PS3.....hopefully it stays this way, it will be such an accomplishment if yo outsell wii for all of 2009!

this article doesn't make sense to me. Didn't PS3 outsell Wii the first 6 months of this year in Japan? So even if it edges past Wii this week, it wouldn't be the first time. Also, I don't kow Year 2009 is only 10 months.
