Playstation 3 Dominates The Japanese Market.

The release of Yakuza 3 should put an end to Sony doom-slaying. The PS3 continues to sell very well despite the economy and its high price tag. SEGA’s Yakuza 3 is the latest game to prove that Sony’s console can shift units, with 372,000 copies sold in its first week. Naturally this had an effect on the Playstation 3’s overall sales, where it overcame all competition (even the DS and Wii) to top the charts in Japan.

We assume there will be much back-patting in Sony’s Japan HQ aswell as London.

Here are the final numbers:

• PlayStation 3 – 36,513
• Nintendo DSi – 35,827
• PSP – 35,588
• Wii – 17,876
• Xbox 360 – 11,795
• Nintendo DS Lite – 11,774
• PlayStation 2 – 5,099
