PS3 outsells Xbox 360 Again
Well, as you know, I like to put some business into my roundups, and it seems PS3 outsold all other platforms in Japan this week.
Last week, I came to you with the news that the Xbox 360 had won the week, but it seems the PS3 is back partly due to the new game Yakuza 3. PS3 sold 36,513 consoles, Xbox 360 sold 11,795, and the Nintendo Wii sold 17,876 consoles. The handhelds got the closest to the PS3 with the psp selling 35,588 systems, and the DSi selling 35,827 systems.
Tune in next week for the next winner.

The decision was a mutual decision between Ubisoft and Darkworks, who had prior obligations. Ubisoft is also pushing back I Am Alive from its March release date until April.

Michael Pachter, financial analyst, said the DLC would hit 2 million by the end of the year. The DLC costs $20, and it’s sold one million, do the math. Woah, Microsoft might have something here.
