PS3 sales top 1m in Japan - Enterbrain

A new survey from Famitsu publisher Enterbrain claims that 1.01 million PlayStation 3s have been sold in Japan since the console launched there on November 11.

According to Reuters, it took Sony four times longer to reach the million mark than it took Nintendo. Enterbrain said 2.9 million Wii units have been shifted since its December 2 launch.

The next-gen console with the biggest head start has racked up the lowest sales - Xbox 360 arrived in Japan in December 2005, and just over 420,700 units have since been sold.
