Sony PlayStation 3 in Japan: Best Sold Games Console
Sony must be really happy, yes of course you are considering the performance on the home market, and the Sony PlayStation 3 has become the best sold gaming platform in Japan.
We knew that already, the reason behind the remarkable achievement is down to the release of the Blu-ray version of the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie, which is packed with a demo version of the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII. The PS3 has seen a massive increase of 42,000 units in sales, to reach 62,527 which is normally what you would expect reserved for the Nintendo DS or for the PlayStation Portable. Advent Children Blu-ray movie sold more than 270,000 units in its first week, so looking good as they say.
Seems to be a little worrying for Nintendo seeing as they are only selling 13,000 units which are down by 2000 units from last week, which puts it into the fourth spot, Xbox 360 sold 8,652 units in one week. The DS is in second place selling 44,725 units and in third place is the PlayStation Portable where it saw a loss in sales of less than 1,000 units reaching just over 40,000.
There are over 8 million Wiis in Japan at the moment and over 1 million Xbox 360s, so good on the PS3 and let’s hope it continues its trend in sales.
