According to an Associated Press report Nintendo's Wii outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 six to one in June in Japan, according to a Japanese publishing company Enterbrain.

The latest numbers also suggest that Nintendo's lead is widening. Wii outsold PS3 just four to one in April and five to one in May, according to Enterbrain. The Wii has also outsold Microsoft's Xbox 360 in Japan in June, which isn't all that much of a shock given Microsoft's track record in that region.

Nintendo sold 270,974 Wii consoles in Japan in June, while Sony sold 41,628 PS3 machines, and Microsoft sold 17,616 Xbox 360 consoles. The availability of more game software for the Wii was another factor.
