PS3 tops Wii in Japan... AGAIN

Thursday 22-Nov-2007 11:16 AM

Sony comes out on top for a second week running

It came as quite a surprise when sales figures released last week revealed that PS3 had outsold Wii in Nintendo-crazed Japan, and it's gone and done it again.

Figures for the week ending November 18 places the PS3 almost 20,000 units ahead of Wii, with PS3 selling 53,000 consoles, Wii shifting 36,000. This is despite the fact that Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles released last week and entered the software charts and number two, with 105,000 sales.

DS still tops the hardware list, with 81,000, boosted slightly by the release of Mario Party DS which topped the software charts with 115,000 sales. PSP's return to form is ongoing, as Sony manages to flog 66,000 of those.

Xbox 360 expectedly struggled to pass the 5,000 mark, which put it behind even the PS2, which managed 8,800 sales, according to the figures compiled by Japanese magazine publisher, Enterbrain (via Famitsu).

Sony boss, Howard Stringer, said recently that PS3's recent fortune "was planned by the PlayStation group."

Well planned.

Mario parties in Japan

by Rob Purchese

Mario Party DS has danced its way to the top of the Japanese charts by flogging more than 116,000 copies, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

Sales numbers from Media Create pitched its closest competitor as Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, which managed an esteemed 83,000.

Below that was Dynasty Warriors 6 in third, while new entries Pro Baseball Family Stadium DS and Game Center CX: Arino's Challenge for fourth and fifth respectively.

One surprise, however, was that much-hyped first-party romp Heavenly Sword - only released on 15th November - sold just 15,000 copies. This landed it in seventh, a mere two places and 2000 sales ahead of old-timer Wii Sports in ninth.

The top ten for Japan is as follows:

Mario Party DS (DS)

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)

Shin Sangoku Musou 5 (PS3)

Pro Baseball Family Stadium DS (DS)

Game Center CX: Arino's Challenge (DS)

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Heavenly Sword (PS3)

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (DS)

Wii Sports (Wii)

Armored Soldiers: Votoms (PS2)

I'd take Famitsus numbers to be closer to the truth at this point. And if this is so, than it's pretty different as the gap between the Wii and PS3 is small. Which shows that the PS3 is once again falling down off of it's highes. at 39,178 this week, I'd guess that next week we'll see it at the lower 30's if not under 30k even.

I'm a bit suprised the 360 went up to 6,525 from it's low 5k last week. Though it doesn't look like much if MS can keep the 360 above 5k per week that'd be something in my book.

Famitsu's numbers are the ones that have the PS3 higher. The lower ones are M-Create (which is what this thread is based on).

The 360 went up to 7k now. This is interesting, maybe it's building up for LO? That's my hope anyways. And the Wii is back over the PS3, so all is well with the world. heh

    • Subscription upon subscription... That old Xzibit Pimp my ride meme comes to mind
    • EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
