Video Game Console Sales: Go Sony!
Sony’s made a huge leap in this week’s video game console sales as it’s up +187% according to Video Game Chartz (for Japanese market).
Nintendo DS and Wii are leading the pack, but PS3 and PSP are just behind. Most interesting, Sony PS3 has sold almost 2.5 times more units than XBOX 360 in the same period, potentially because of Microsoft’s issues with the warranty.
Note: The chart on the left is for Japan, not the entire world. This is very positive for Sony as they expected Japan to be one of it’s largest sales territories but it got off to a very slow start.
A USA Chart can be found here, and still, PS3 edges out the Xbox 360 for the same time period. Nintendo is leading the pack overall.
What I’m extremely excited about is that the consoles with broadband capabilities are selling extremely well and this opens up extremely lucrative opportunities within the video games market.
