PS3 outsold the Wii by over 3x as many units.

Wow.

The Wii only outsold the 360 by 8k. Hate to say it, but Nintendo needs a hardware moving title or price cut there soon, or it may drop next to the 360 in weekly sales.

As for PS3, looking at what released this week, I'm not too shocked at the boost. Still good to see it holding up well!

Edit: Having another look, I forgot about the quake/tsunami impact. Next week's numbers will probably show the true impact.

Dragon Quest X with a wii price cut just may boost Wii HW, if it comes out that it, we may see it at E3 aand see it released fall 2011 or mid 2012.

Let's wait and see if Dragon Quest X will stay exclusive on Wii...

This is the ultimate proof that the PS3 is the hardcore console and the Wii is the casual console. Earthquakes, tsunamis, total mayhem, but gamers play their PS3 like any other day. Wii gamers have probably forgot about gaming at all.

Seems to me like this whole Earthquake thing really hit Japan hard...

I assume people were buying PS3s and PSPs as protection against Nuclear Radiation or something, it only does everything...

Poor Japan

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

There's a 99.9% chance it will, no mainline game has been released mulitplat (excluding re-makes)

Why would this game be any different? It's taken years to make the game, it was updated this year that it was still Wii-exclusive, I doubt at this point they'll be changing their console of release, especially looking at the success of DQIX...

PS3s being used as floaties.

Wiis don't float.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

The silence surrounding DQX tells me that perhaps it will come out on the Wii 2 instead.

Is it true that the Wii is now down by over 250,000 units for the Year in Japan?
