    PS3 Beating Up Xbox 360 In Japan

    The console royal rumble gets underway in Japan. While the PS3 came out throwing punches (which were later resold on Yahoo! Auctions), the Xbox 360 didn't even quite make it into the ring. Here's the embarrassing sales figures during PS3 launch week, courtesy of game site 1Up:

    • PLAYSTATION 3: 81,639 units
    • Xbox 360: 3,864 units

    How shocking. And I'm willing to bet dollars for doughnuts that the DS Lite killed the PSP, too! The incredible thing is that three original Xboxes were sold in Japan as well. Yes, THREE. Somebody, locate these people and find out if they're, you know, alright. Brian Ashcraft
