Welcome to Bizarro World, people. In the land of the rising sun, the Wii is undisputed king. Well, the DS is really, but we’re talking consoles here. Apparently some kind of Star Trek-type time-space continuum warp has resulted in a distortion of reality, and 183,217 PS3s were sold during November, topping the 159,193 Wiis sold during the same month. Gentle reader, I am as shocked as you are. Shocked and appalled! Of course, inter-dimensional hijinks aside, the long-expected releases of such games as Assassin’s Creed, Uncharted, and Need For Speed: Prostreet might have had something to do with it.
PS3 tops Wii in Japan for first time [Yahoo! News]
Most of the people that bought the PS3 only did so because they couldn’t get a Wii since supplies are so low.
Maybe…
I think that the Wii is a more Japan-friendly product, but is it so unbelievable to consider that the Japanese may actually be deviating from habit because the PS3 is the superior console?
I love my Wii. I even like my XBox 360. But NEITHER compares to the PS3. It’s just a better console.
No, no, because Wii supplies are so low, they’ve started putting PS3’s into Wii boxes and selling them for $249. It was the best way to get rid of the overstock of PS3’s.
Time warpover, its back to normal – PS 1:3.
