The Nintendo Wii is still outselling the PlayStation 3 by 2-to-1 in Japan, although the gap between the rival formats has closed for the fourth consecutive month.

The latest figures released by Enterbrain and reported by Reuters show that Nintendo shifted 110,415 units in the four weeks to October 28, while Sony sold 47,183 PlayStation 3 units.

Microsoft continues to struggle in the region, with sales of the Xbox 360 reaching 18,717 units for the same period.

PS3 is getting good sales lately, that's good for Sony. Luckily Wii is still selling better.

Yeah, I think the recent price reductions for the PS3 has helped. I think the Wii may need a little price reduction soon, but Nintendo should sort out the stock allocation first.

lol... wii is going to slowly go down... sony's hardware is going to rise yet again.... machine's main problem heating(which cause to make the ps3 to brake)

Playstation 3's don't break due to heat... well i can't say never but at least there is no 33% red rings of death rate like the 360... but those are just statistics. You're probably not interested in those.
