Thanks to first week sales of the new Wii role-playing game Xenoblade in Japan, Nintendo’s motion-controlled console managed to outsell the PlayStation 3 in Japan this week.
The two consoles have been battling for second place behind the PSP for months, with Nintendo pulling ahead this week. That gives the Wii and Nintendo DS maker a bigger slice of the pie than Sony this week, as PSP and PSPgo sales cool slightly
