PS3 beats Wii after price reduction

According to an article entitled "PS3 beats Wii for the month of November after price reduction [jp]":

According to data from Enterbrain, Japan's major game magazine publisher, in November (4 weeks leading up to November 25), Sony Computer Entertainment has sold more than 183,000 systems of PLAYSTATION3 (PS3), its latest game console, while Nintendo has sold 159,000 Wii consoles.

Wow, PS3 did it. Thanks to the price down, PS3 outsold Wii during the month of November.

The article reported that "the reversal took place in the week that included November 11th, the day Sony launched a new model with a price tag of 39,980yen, 10,000yen lower than its previous model". It seems that the price down caught those consumers who had been holding off due to its price.

"We've seen steady growth in sales after the price reduction. Responses from the market are quite good” said a SCE spokesperson.
