A month after it hit one million sold in Europe and Australia, the PlayStation 3 has finally reached the same milestone in Japan.
According to Enterbrain, it took Sony just about 8 months to reach the milestone, over double the time it took Nintendo to reach the mark with its Wii console.
As of last week, 1.01 million units had been sold compared to just under 3 million Wiis. The Xbox 360 continued to die in Japan, selling only 420,000 since 2005.
The numbers are somewhat surprising as Sony has traditionally done well in Japan and around Asia, handily beating its rivals.
