The PS3 has sold over 2 million units in Japan, GamesIndustry.biz is reporting. Media Create's numbers show the PS3 having sold 1,999,969, just 31 short of 2 million, as of April 6th. During the week since then the target has been reached, showing strong sales for the PS3 in Japan.

It may not be close to beating out the scarily popular Wii, but the PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 in the region by a ratio of almost 4:1. With huge titles such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Final Fantasy XIII series still to come, we expect Japanese sales to only increase further in the future.
