Welcome to Bizarro World, people. In the land of the rising sun, the Wii is undisputed king. Well, the DS is really, but we’re talking consoles here. Apparently some kind of Star Trek-type time-space continuum warp has resulted in a distortion of reality, and 183,217 PS3s were sold during November, topping the 159,193 Wiis sold during the same month. Gentle reader, I am as shocked as you are. Shocked and appalled! Of course, inter-dimensional hijinks aside, the long-expected releases of such games as Assassin’s Creed, Uncharted, and Need For Speed: Prostreet might have had something to do with it.
