PS3 Finally Outsells Wii In Japan; Blu-ray Camp Most Likely Celebrating

As I watch nearly every mom and dad I know running around looking fruitlessly for a Nintendo Wii to give their kids for Christmas, I found it interesting that the Playstation 3 outsold the Wii in Japan this past month. This is the first time the PS3 has outsold the Wii in Japan since the consoles were released last year. For the month ending November 25, the PS3 sold 183217 units while the Wii sold 159193. Why all of a sudden the PS3 seems to be overcoming its slow start isn't certain, but could be due to the mid-range 40 GB model released recently with its $100 price cut. We do know that the Blu-ray camp is probably celebrating right now.
