According to the latest figures from Media Create, the Microsoft Xbox 360 has outsold the rival Sony PlayStation 3 in Japan two weeks running, marking a sharp contrast in the country where the 360 has constantly lagged very far behind in sales.
The figures show Microsoft selling 13,777 units for the week ending September 21st with Sony only selling 8,156 units for the same period.

What are your thoughts? Sony had this to say...
