Sony PS3 Outsells Nintendo Wii in Japan 2 Months in a Row

For the second month straight, the Sony (NYSE:SNE) PS3 gaming console has outsold the world-leader Nintendo (OTC:NTDOY) Wii. For the 4 weeks leading up to April 26th, domestic PS3 sales reached 108,530 while Wii sales were only 67,116. PS3 was boosted by a trial launch of the upcoming game "Final Fantasy XIII," the newest installment in an immensely popular series. Watch for FFXIII hype to drive further PS3 sales while Nintendo tries to combat the system with a new Wii Sports and Electronic Arts' (NASDAQ:ERTS) new Tiger Woods game, which will feature a new Wii-mote add-on making controls much more sensitive.

Good news for PS3, but SONY need to start focusing on Others and America also.

How much time before it catches up ?

20 000 per month would be like...

240 000 in a year !!!

I agree, the pricecut would boost sales a LOT, and imo PS3 would win the christmas sales thing... and would also help Uncharted 2 greatly if it was bundled.

0k ? wow now that is one pathetic thing to celebrate, I mean 40k??? in Japan? that's like drop in the ocean.

Very well atleast it have you keep going.

So I guess it doesn't matter that PS3 have had what? 4-5 major released while Nintendo have had none.....

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
