Japan stops ignoring the PS3, sales jump 900%
Looks like all is right with the world again, according to the latest numbers from Media Create. This week on Sony’s home turf, the PS3 moved 39,587 units — outselling the combined figures of the Wii and Xbox 360. Also worth noting is that PS3 sales jumped a whopping 907% from last week, when the PS3 sold only 3,931 units.
As we reported yesterday, Grand Theft Auto IV for the PS3 took first place on the Japanese charts — now we know it has sold 132,676 copies, while LittleBigPlanet and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: Spec III sold 51,705 and 34,965 copies, respectively. You’ll notice that Media Create has released slightly different numbers — for example, the 360 version of GTA IV is in eighth place now instead of fourth place. Hardware sales are below, software sales are after the jump:
