Published November 30th, 2007
Sony’s PlayStation 3 video game console finally outsold Nintendo’s Wii in Japan in November, helped by a price cut and a stronger lineup of games, the results of a survey released Friday show. Sony sold 183,217 PS3s in Japan in the four weeks to Nov. 25, while Nintendo sold 159,193 Wii consoles, according to magazine publisher Enterbrain. Microsoft sold 35,065 of its Xbox 360s as it continued to struggle on its rivals’ home turf. Sony cut the price of the standard PS3 by 10 percent in October and launched a new slimmed-down version.
