Nintendo are continuing to perform well in Japan, after selling 1.6 million Wii units between April and September. Games magazine publisher, Enterbrain say that the Wii has outsold the PS3 by more than 4:1, with the PS3 selling 385,492 across the same period.

Wii may have the worst graphics of the three entertainment systems, but the innovative titles and the unique control system are still capturing the imaginations of gamers world-wide and more-so in Japan.

"If there were half a dozen good titles people wanted to play on the PS3, I'm sure it would actually be doing quite well," KBC Securities analyst Hiroshi Kamide told Reuters.
