news and reviews
Welcome to the Games Blog! You can find the latest news and reviews about Nintendo DS, PC Gaming, PlayStation 3, Sony PSP, Wii, Xbox 360 as well as mobile games.
For the first time, Sony PS3 tops Nintendo Wii’s sales in Japan. This is largely due to the new cheaper version of PS3 (with only 40GB hard drive) which sells for only US$361 in Japan.
According to data provided by Enterbrain, the trade magazine, the PS3 sold 183,217 units in November in Japan, outstripping the Wii’s 159,193 consoles. Increasing sales of the PS3 is crucial for Sony, whose lossmaking games division is weighing on overall profit growth.
This “victory” may not last long since Nintendo is going to launch Wii Fit, which has created big buzz among game industries in the recent months.
