Wii still outselling PS3 in Japan

The latest figures from Famitsu publisher Enterbrain have revealed that the Nintendo Wii is outselling PlayStation 3 by two to one in Japan.

As reported by Bloomberg, 1.95 million Wii units were sold in the territory between console launch on December 2 and March 25. The PlayStation 3 went on sale in Japan on November 11, and 812,000 units were sold by March 25.

However, it would appear that the gap between Sony and Nintendo is narrowing. Media Create previously announced that during the last week of January, the ratio of Wii to PS3 units sold was four to one.

Enterbrain figures for Xbox 360 sales were not reported, but Microsoft has yet to secure a foothold in the Japanese market. Sales were boosted in December by the release of platform exclusive Blue Dragon, but generally fail to top four figures on a weekly basis.
