Wii still winning in Japan

Filed under: News, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo — stuart @ 11:43 am

It looks like the Wii is still winning the console wars in japan with figures showing that it is out selling it’s main rival the PlayStation 3 by a figure of 3:1.

In the four weeks that ended on the 24th August the Wii sold 245,653 with the PlayStation 3 selling 81,541 units and the Xbox 360 lagging so far behind with only 11,288 sold in the same space of time.

This brings the total of Wii’s to 3.4 million with the PlayStation 3 shifting 1.1million and the Xbox 360 only selling 442,290 to date.

These figures show that the Wii is still out doing it’s competition and that the Xbox 360 still is the whipping boy of the three consoles and that Microsoft still hasn’t made the impact that they have in other territories.
