Whilst other countries like to hide their weekly hardware sales figures from the public, Japan is quite happy to let everyone see them. Â Which is quite handy, because otherwise this post would have been pure conjecture. Â According to the agency Media Create, which handles these figures, the PS3, for the first time ever, has outsold every other console.
PS3: 36,513
DSi: 35,827
PSP: 35,588
Wii: 17,876
Xbox 360: 11,795
DS Lite: 11,774
PS2: 5,099
Naturally this is only because the DSi and the DS Lite are considered seperate machines, but hey – we don’t care.  And why is this?  Sega’s PS3 exclusive Yakuza 3, apparently, which sold over 350 thousand copies last week.  Just goes to show: exclusives do count if they’re the right titles, and created specifically for a territory. Â
And is that the Wii fad over? Â Good, about time.
