Recent figures show Wii sells four-to-one against PS3 in Japan (Joystiq)

Japan's Enterbrain says the Wii outsold the PS3 four-to-one in the country between April and September. Nintendo sold 1.6 million units while the PS3 sold 385,492. Although this shows recent figures between the two systems, a report from early September showed the Wii outsold the PS3 three-to-one since their launch last year. Don't even bother asking about the Japanese Xbox 360 sales figures.

So, when will the PS3 find redemption, considering Heavenly Sword and Lair obviously didn't hit the spot? Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter says it's Little Big Planet that will resonate with the Japanese market and be the "console seller." Now it just needs a street date. Time is ticking and Wii is on the march.
