Reuters reports today on the impressive performance of the Wii, in Japan, when compared to competitors’ offerings sale numbers. According to Enterbrain, a magazine publisher, the Nintendo Wii out sold its closest new generation rival, Sony’s PlayStation 3, 6-to-1.

For the month of June, Nintendo sold 270,974 Wiis, while Sony moved 41,628 units of its PS3 and Microsoft sold 17,616 Xbox 360s. This marks another month-to-month increase of the Wii-to-PS3 Japanese sales ration, thus giving some weight to the unflinching support the Japanese market has shown to Nintendo stocks these last two years.

Beyond3D will offer a proper coverage of the monthly Japanese and North American sales in a future update, as soon as the NPD numbers are made available.
