According to Media Create, more than 80,000 Wii units were sold in the territory between January 22 and 28. During the same period Sony sold 21,000 PS2 consoles and 20,000 PS3s. Just 7000 Xbox 360 units were shifted as Microsoft continues its struggle to secure a foothold in the Japanese market.
Wii sales for the entire month of January stood at 400,000 units, while 150,000 PlayStation 3 consoles were sold.
The PS3 launched in Japan on November 11, followed by the Wii on December 2. Since then Sony has sold 614,000 consoles while Wii sales have topped 1.4 million.
According to Hamamura, who is president of Famitsu publisher Enterbrain, "There could be a price cut for PS3 by the end of the year, and more software titles will hit the market."
He said he expected PS3 "to be doing better after a while," but added, "Of course, the Wii will keep running ahead."

Gotta hand it to Nintendo, they certainly seem to know what they're doing. And the wii is still out of stock in many places.
Im out to go and pre-order a PS3 today (one day only pre-ordering apparently) but, does make me wonder if it is worth it

Noooooooo don't do it Bex, not worth it. How much do you play your 360? Not that I am telling you what to do but, I think it will collect dust in your room. Wii is the way young Jedi!

Seriously though, sony really didn't do their homework on this one.
