This news come in just as Sony has been celebrating passing the 1 million mark in Japan. Sony had reported on Wednesday as having sold 1.01 million PlayStation 3 consoles since their November 11 launch. Wii figures were not yet available at the time, but it is now clear that 3.01 million Wii consoles have been sold since December 2nd.
