The PS3 is moving in the right direction in Japan. Not only have console sales been stellar but Resident Evil 5 which is already released has been selling much better then the Xbox 360 version. Initial numbers indicate that the PS3 version pushed 222,000 units while the 360 version had only sold 56,000 units.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out globally, as this puts global sales at a good start for PlayStation.
