Nintendo Wii Sales Down & PS3 Sales Up In Japan!

ITANI | September 10, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 Wii 
Sony's Playstation 3 was the only console to truly overcome it's previous weeks record and sale 18,068 consoles. While every other console & handheld in Japan sales decreased. Could it be the new entry of Koei's Bladestorm that increased the Playstation 3 sales? It's possible with the game ending up at second place on the charts. Let's all hope for a brighter future for Sony.
Sony's PlayStation 3 was the only console in the region to record improved sales, with 18,068 consoles sold - in the same week that Koei's PS3 title Bladestorm entered the all-formats charts at number two by selling 58,996 copies.

    How many reports have there been made about sales now? Seriously first the PS3 is selling more, then the 360's sales spike, then the Wii's sales decrease. WHAT THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE?

    I'm assuming this is in Europe, which is probably why you are getting all the different stats mixed up, Silver.

    Edit: Never mind, finally got the source working. I was wrong, this is Japan the article is talking about.

    I'm not surprised that the sales are going up for the PS3. Also, we all know the the Wii would slow down eventually.

    This would be grounds breaking news if the big N still hadn't sold 20,000 more than the ps3. but I guess that fact really doesn't matter...
