The PlayStation 3 has outsold Nintendo’s Wii console in Japan for the month of November, according to the latest hardware figures from Famitsu publisher, Enterbrain.
Calmative PS3 sales during the four weeks ended November 25 reached 183,217 units, beating out the Wii, which sold a total of 159,193 units during the same period. PS3 had previously enjoyed strong sales in the region for the past fortnight, outselling Nintendo’s machine by around 20,000 units.
The spike in sales has largely been attributed to the availability of the cheaper 40GB model, in addition to the continued shortages currently plaguing the Wii.
"It's nice to see the system selling much better than six months ago. But is it a sustainable trend? Is it going to really escalate from here? I'm not so sure”, commented KBC Securities analyst, Hiroshi Kamide.

I really hope Sony continues this lead,and it is also strange that by the amount of money Ninty is making,it shouldn't be a problem to increase production numbers.
yeaa!! NOW PS3 RULEZZZZZZZ!!!
Ah, [Reminiscing time.] I recall a day back in the PS3Land.com era, and Enterbrain said some very harsh things about Sony and the PS3. I remember, though obviously cannot quote (my memory isn't THAT good), how people cursed the name of Enterbrain. And even criticized the name as being stupid, retarded, etc. And saying that Enterbrain can't be trusted, and that they were incredible (in the sense of being -not- credible.)
And now, here, Enterbrain says something good, and suddenly they're as credible and legitimate as birth certificates. People are fickle. Such is humanity. Which is why the world in which we live is so... colorful.
Anyway, back on topic. Good news for Sony. The 40GB was just that extra "push" that the Playstation brand needed back in home territory. I'm sure the same results will come soon for the US. (Not necessarily for November, but for the Holiday season, and the coming months.)
this isn´t a suprise to me ...
just wait and see who well better the ps3 is gonna sell once games like drakes fortune, ut3,gta4, mgs4, kill zone 2,gt5 and ff13 come out.
psn id: gingo... dont think it will be sustainable but i reckon wii wont be so far ahead as it was in the previous year
ps3333333333 is daaaaaaa bessssssttttttttt
Wow
Here's hoping this is the beginning of a long trend.
they can only keep this lead longer if they get more games that those people down there want on a constant basis, now if they were to get a port of ace combat 4, which was the only game that gave MS a small lead over ps3 for a small period of time. than i would imagine if they added this game to their library, also sony will have a better more consistant line up begining next year to just there but world wide as well.
Great news!! From the title though, it sounds like PS3 outsold the Wii since launch. Also, calmative shouldn't be in there. Unless of course we are talking about sedatives here. Why is c*m*lative banned anyway?
that is very COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!!! Its nice to see that Sony and the respect for us PS3 fans and PS3 owners is getting shown by these Awsome Sales rates!! Those stupid XBOTS will be crying by this jan. 2008!!!
NIce, Sony's finally back on top, where they should be.
1st japan n europe then USA it's a trend
You also have to take the fact that many in JP already have Wii's. >_> Anyway its good that Sony's doing there best to decrease the momentum Nintendo has over there.
I'm not saying that PS3 sales are going to continue beating the Wii's, but the PS3 sales are definately sustainable. Not only sustainable, but they can also increase.
It's ridiculous that Nintendo is still having shortages. I mean c'mon, Apple keeps up with supply.
