PS3 final hitting a million in Japan

Yep, good news (depends if you're Phil Harrison a Sony employee or not) for Sony. The PS3 has hit 1 million unit in Japan. Famitsu reported that the PS3 as at 15 July 2007, the number of PS3 sold mount up to 1,010,492 units.

Took them long enough (8 months). Not entirely unexpected, given the Media Create numbers indicating that the PS2 has continuously outsold the PS3 week in week out.

Gundam Muso sold 280,000, while Ridge Racing 7 and Gundam: Target in Sight sold a respectable 140,000 and 138,000 respectively.

No doubt someone at Sony will make a big fuss about the milestone, how it is out-selling than the Xbox 360 in Japan, yadda, yadda, yadda. Because, you know, it's the only home console that it is outselling at the moment.
