The Japanese publisher behind the popular gaming magazine Famitsu has revealed total life-to-date sales of both Wii and PlayStation 3.
According to Enterbrain (via Kotaku), as of December 13, Nintendo’s Wii has sold just under ten million units at 9,048,012 since the Japanese launch. Sony and its PlayStation 3 have sold 4,020,563.
In December last year Enterbrain reported that 2.6 million PS3s and 7.5 million Wii consoles had been sold in Japan.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii made an impressive start in Japan, shifting 422,000 copies during its first 24 hours of availability. The title has since gone on to sell well over one million units.
