Sony PS3 Outsells Nintendo Wii in Japan 2 Months in a Row

For the second month straight, the Sony (NYSE:SNE) PS3 gaming console has outsold the world-leader Nintendo (OTC:NTDOY) Wii. For the 4 weeks leading up to April 26th, domestic PS3 sales reached 108,530 while Wii sales were only 67,116. PS3 was boosted by a trial launch of the upcoming game "Final Fantasy XIII," the newest installment in an immensely popular series. Watch for FFXIII hype to drive further PS3 sales while Nintendo tries to combat the system with a new Wii Sports and Electronic Arts' (NASDAQ:ERTS) new Tiger Woods game, which will feature a new Wii-mote add-on making controls much more sensitive.
