Nintendo Wii Sales Quadruple PlayStation 3

Published by Ian Klein February 6th, 2007 in Nintendo, Wii.

Wii sales are booming with no signs of letting up, especially in Japan– last month Nintendo Wii had been outselling PS3 by two to one. Those days are now long gone. For the week of January 22-28, Media Create’s figures show that Nintendo’s console is outselling Sony’s PlayStation 3 by a margin of four to one.

Here’s how the Japanese figures break down: The aforementioned Wii: 83,754 units. Sony’s PS3 sold 19,996consoles in the same amount of time.But both consoles lost out to the handheldDS Lite, which sold a whopping194,526 units. PSP also outsold PlayStation 3 with 35,700 sold altogether.

Naturally, Xbox 360 was the last of the bunch with a paltry 7,365total. No matter what Microsoft does, it seems that Japan just will not accept Xbox 360 in their households.

We're going to be adding a few more talented writers to the Portable Planet menagerie within the next few months.

Also, we haven't forgotten about the layout change; we have an unconfirmed fear that our designer is trapped in an oubliette somewhere between the border of Paraguay and Bolivia. Either that, or he's lazy.
