Sony's PlayStation 3 has outsold Nintendo's Wii console in Japan for the first time in 16 months.Last month, Sony shifted 146,948 units of the PS3 compared to 99,335 Wiis, reported publishing firm Enterbrain.While some suggest it could signal the end of Nintendo's dominance, others think it is unlikely that the PS3 will threaten the Wii's popularity globally.Meanwhile, Nintendo's revamped DSi console sold 92,000 units in the UK during its first weekend of sales.It makes it the fourth biggest ever console launch.Experts see the dominance of the PS3 during March as a temporary blip rather than a sign of Nintendo's decline.Microsoft however only shifted 43,172 units of its Xbox 360 during the same period.Games such as Resident Evil 5 and the latest version of action adventure Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 are credited with driving demand for the PS3 in Japan.
