Nintendo Wii vs. Sony PS3 Sales: the gap narrows in Japan

Nintendo Wii vs Sony PS3
In August the Nintendo Wii outsold the Sony PS3 by a ratio of 3-1 in Japan, but some are saying big changes could be coming as for the second consecutive month Nintendo’s overwhelming lead in the games console market has narrowed.

245,653 Nintendo Wii’s sold in the 4 weeks ending August 26th which is compared to 81,541 Sony Playstation 3’s (according to game magazine publisher Enterbrain).

In June this ratio was 6-1 and in July it was 4-1 and now 3-1, could this be a pattern or is there other factors not being seen.

I have brought one of each of the three main consoles, but this news is very interesting.

Could this mean people are starting to understand the cutting-edge technology that’s inside the Sony PS3 like the Blu-ray high-definition DVD player and the hope of many more strong game titles for the PS3 coming (as the games are very limited at present).

The $30 billion global video game industry is a big market that a few big brands are fighting for, what do you make of this news.

    How is the gap narrowing? The gap is still growing, just not as fast.
