Wii outsold the PS3 by almost a 4-to-1 ratio during the month of February.

Reuters is reporting that the Wii sold 331,627 units during the February period in Japan. Thats nearly a 4-to-1 ratio compared to the PS3, which sold 89,131 units, according to Enterbrain, which publishes Famitsu. In January, the Wii outsold the PS3 by roughly 3-to-1.

Contributing to the Wii's success in no small way is the popularity of recent software releases such as Dairantou Smash Brothers X (Super Smash Bros. Brawl in the U.S.), which was the best-selling Japanese software in February with 1.33 million units sold, followed by Wii Fit, which sold 309,311 units. The Xbox 360 also continued its struggles in Japan, selling just 14,079 units.

Like I said before though, that could easily change soon as Nintendo's big first party titles, SSBB, WiiFit, and MKWii have all been released (or close to) in Japan and are coming soon to North America. Nintendo does not really have any other big first party games announced yet and as we all know, third party games on Nintendo are usually pretty bad.
