Enterbrain has revealed the Japanese hardware sales figures for the four weeks leading to February 24th and the Wii is once again steaming ahead.

The PlayStation 3 was outsold by nearly four-to-one by the Wii over the four week period. Nintendo shifted 331,627 units, while Sony moved 89,131 PS3s. Microsoft's Xbox 360, as ever in this region, trailed, selling 14,079 units. SPOnG did the maths and that means it was outsold by the Wii by 23.5 to one, while the PS3 outdid it by 6.3 to one.

In January, the Wii outsold the PS3 in Japan by nearly three-to-one.

Meanwhile, the Japanese software charts are in for the period from February 18th to February 24th, courtesy of Media Create. Smash Bros.
