PS3 sales pass 2 million in Japan

The PS3 rode the Blu-ray past the 2 million sales mark in Japan recently according to Media Create. GI.biz reports the PS3's little milestone was severely overshadowed by the incredible sales the PSP is currently pulling off due to Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, which surpassed 1.5 million units sold in two weeks since launch.

For the sake of comparison, the Nintendo Wii passed the 5 million mark in Japan earlier this year -- it's probably creeping up on six by now. Meanwhile (don't laugh) the Xbox 360 gently rocks in the corner, wondering what it did wrong, with a regional lifetime sales figure of 555,000. Poor little guy.
