Xbox Outsells PS3…In Japan

The unthinkable has happened: Xbox 360 sold more units last week than the PlayStation 3. In Japan.

Japanese site Media Create is reporting that Microsoft’s console has outsold the PS3 by 239 units in the Land of the Rising Sun for the period between 10/29 and 11/4

Here’s the full info:

DSL: 78,552

PSP: 59,714

Wii: 37,617

Xbox 360: 17,673

PS3: 17,434

PS2: 10,209

Some are saying the spike in 360 sales has to do with the release of Ace Combat 6, apparently a very popular series in Japan.

Or, it could be that everyone in Japan who wants a PS3 already has one…
