For 2 weeks now the Sony PS3 has kicked the Nintendo Wii’s butt in Japan and with the Christmas being the highest time for sales this could turn the tides on the PS3 losing in the game sales charts.
According to reports from CVG, the Nintendo dominated charts are starting to see the next-gen Sony Playstation 3 console finally hold its own.
The 2 Japanese market data companies are reporting different figures, but both say that the PS3 is topping sales in the last 2 weeks. Media Create puts the gap at 3,000 units, while Enterbrain has claimed the gap to be 17,000 units.
Who do you think will sell the most consoles in December?

silly rabbit, tricks are for kids!..
I would hardly call that “kicking butt”….
17000 my ass
how is that kicking the wii’s butt? i would call it “barely squeaks by the wii for 2 out of 54 weeks”
I dont really giv a crap about sales but I thought with Galaxy just released dat the wii would be outselling the ps3 by an even wider margin. I hop the 360 sales get better aswell though
lol kicking butt? Kicking butt is when the wii was out selling the ps3 six to 1. And still out selling it 4 to 1 in America.
And sony looses money on each of their consoles sold and ps3’s are going for dead cheap in Japan. And nintendo makes a quite large profit on every wii sold so who do you think has made more profit.

~~~ Umm, profit really doesn’t matter when it comes to hardware…its the software that makes the real money. And regardless…The Wii uses technology that barely outdoes the PS2 (and in most cases for the games out thus far, barely look better than a PSP game *ouch*). At least Sony and Microsoft are trying to “progress” in technology…not dumb it down. So, factoring out hardware…which system has the better software? Hmmmm…. lets see…. Mario Golf (OMG YAY!!), Ratchet and Clank Future (hailed as the best looking game of all time) or Halo 3 (Halo, nuff said)……oh yes, of course.
WII ALL THE WAY !!!! WHOO HOO !!! *cough cough*
~Note that last part was severe sarcasm ppl.~
Haha good job Ryan. Cover up the horribly misleading headline with the age old graphics are more important than gameplay and fun factor argument.
@Ryan
Funny that you say that hardware sales do not matter as Nintendo dominates the top 15. WTG Ratchet and Clank, coming in 17th place with a sweet 9k sales

+1
LMAO. You people are so ignorant. You must be americana…anyway, I never said Graphics are more important than gameplay…in fact show me where I said those exact words. I wont continue on that one. Second, Ratchet just came out. You are comparing it to a bunch of Nintendo games that have been out for how long? Please people if you are going to attack me, at least do it logically. Thanks.
