What do we know about Japan? Even after those weird commercials (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/24/watch-japans-unsettling-ps3-slim-commercials/), the PlayStation 3 has managed to outsell the Wii in Japan following the (what you might call) successful launch of the newly "encheapened" PS3 Slim (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/PS3-Slim/). Japanese market research firm Enterbrain estimates that from August 31 through September 27 309,939 PS3s were sold; a new monthly record for the console.
If you've been following our weekly Japanese Hardware Sales (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/japanesehardwaresales) updates, this is no surprise to you. The usually dominant DSi and DS Lite combo sold a combined 297,060 units, which came alarmingly close to the Sony record, considering the 7,350 percent boost (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/07/ps3-hits-weekly-sales-record-in-japan/) the PS3 saw post-Slim. It's notable that this Bloomberg report (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601204&sid=aWGOwwwRuksk) doesn't even list the Wii's monthly sales; however, with Nintendo's Wii at ¥20,000 (down from ¥25,000) starting this month, we imagine next month's chart will look a little different.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)PS3 outsells Wii in Japan for September; thanks Slim!
