Wii Outsells PS3 4-to-1
February 29th, 2008 Posted in Business, News, PlayStation 3
The Wii has been selling like hot cakes since its launch last year. While many have predicted that the sales would subside, interest in the console is still solid and people are still more likely to buy a Wii than its more powerful, expensive cousins. Keeping that in mind, Reuters reports that the Wii is still outselling the PS3 nearly 4-to-1 in Japan in February.
Nintendo sold a total of 331,627 units of the WIi this month, outselling the PS3 by a huge margin. The biggest sellers this month were Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with 1.33 million units sold, followed by Wii Fit, which sold 309,311 units. No numbers were provided for the PS3.
