11 weeks into 2009 the PS3 has sold 299,850 (305,385 vgchartz) compared to 354,367 Wiis (374,569 vgchartz) in Japan.

The same 11 weeks into 2007 and 2008 the PS3 has been outsold 3 to 1 by the Wii in the region.

So, can it?

No chance whatsoever.

Doubtful.

The odds are overwhelmingly against it. The Wii's game drought in Japan won't last forever. I would say it has a decent chance if Final Fantasy XIII got released around early December, but then I remember that the Wii has Monster Hunter 3 and Wii Sports Resort so yeah, it's almost impossible.

Nope, despite the quality software that has been released for the PS3 in Japan this year it's still behind the Wii.

If FFXIII is released in 2009. Yeah it's possible.

no ,...wii rules in japan ,usa and the .???????????????????????'

A large price cut + Final Fantasy XIII in September and it can. It might need a couple more jRPGs, maybe a SO4 port, TLR should also help

Nope, Wii has Monster Hunter G, Monster Hunter 3, Tales of Ten, Wii Sports Resort, Samurai Warriors 3 and some second tier JRPGs.

PS3 has Advent Children/FFXIII demo and maybe FFXIII.

Nope, it can't. But it will be a lot closer than last year of course. Probably 2:1 this year? But the PS3 could overtake the Wii in YTD sales after the FFXIII demo comes out. We still have to see at what level PS3 sales have stabilized. It saw a drop of 10k units from last week. Probably 20k this week and ahead of the Wii which will be around 16k. Then the week after they may be head to head or Wii slightly ahead. But again, depends on how much this recent streak of big games (Naruto, Demon's Soul, WKC, SF4, Yakuza 3, RE5, Musou Orochi Z) has really helped the console. There's not much coming up besides the FFXIII demo, in fact nothing notable until DW5 Empires in late May. Wii hasn't got much either, but sales are stable in the 15 - 20k range. PS3 sales may start to go down again if 360 sales this week were any indicative.
