It’s always a tough battle for game console makers in Japan, and July was no different. This time, the Nintendo Wii managed to beat the Sony PS3 handily.
Nintendo sold 396,752 units of the Wii in the five weeks ended July 29, compared with 91,987 units of the PS3.
The PS3, packed with Sony’s cutting-edge technology such as a Blu-ray high-definition DVD player, has been lagging the Wii in sales since their launches late last year due to PS3’s high price and scarcity of strong software titles.
In a sense, this shows a slight improvement for the PlayStation, as it was outsold by a 6-1 ratio in June. Nintendo has the profits to show for their efforts. They announced that net income has tripled, based primarily on the performance of the Wii.
