Nintendo’s Pwnage of Sony Slows a Little in the August Heat

PS3

Nintendo’s Wii only outsold the Sony PS3 by three to one in Japan for the month of August. That is down from four to one in July and a massive six to one in June. This is leading some to conclude that their may be a shift in the sales focus sometime in the not too distant future. The tide could be turning for the PS3, particularly with Gran Turismo 5 set for release in October. With present PS3 pricing, however, many would say that it is doubtful that it will find its way into as many Japanese homes as the much more affordable Wii.
