Here's a little encouraging news for PlayStation fans, as sources are reporting that Sony has sold more than 53,000 PlayStation 3 units in Japan for the week ending November 18; this marks the second week that Sony's PS3 has outdone the Nintendo Wii, which clocked in at 36,000 units for the same period. The sales increase is largely due to the introduction of the 40GB model (at just $399) and the price cuts initiated for the other, more expensive models.
As expected, the Nintendo DS is still rocking Japan with 81,000 units sold for the same period, followed by the PSP at 66,000. As far as the Xbox 360 goes, it managed 5,000 sales, trailing after the PlayStation 2 with 8,800.
Exactly what is inspiring all those DS/PSP purchases?
