False alarm: Xbox 360 may not have outsold Wii in Japan last week


There are now conflicting reports about the week the Earth stood still. It seems the Xbox 360 may not have outsold the Wii in Japan last week, as Media Create's data contradicts that of Famitsu owner Enterbrain, which shows that the Wii actually triumphed. Well, that explains why we're all still here ... because the fabric of existence should have completely torn itself apart.

The Media Create data shows that the Wii sold 29,686 units (up 2,500 from Enterbrain's count), while the Xbox 360 unit count is roughly the same as Enterbrain's figure at 28,188. Now it's time for us to get Uncle Chester out of the bunker and tell him that Fallout 3 won't be an edutainment title.
