The PS3 has outsold Wii for the second month in a row in Japan.

Back in March, Sony beat out Nintendo for the first time in 16 months, and in April, numbers for the console soared to 108,360 units compared to 67,1176 Wiis.

The Xbox 360, by comparison, moved 27,381 units.

Sony attributes the strong sales to the Final Fantasy XIII demo that was released with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete.

In an interview with 1UP, Final Fantasy XIII co-producer Yoshinori Kitase said that the story to the game is complete, with Japanese voice recording about to begin.

“As you mentioned, it definitely helps the localization when you’ve got a finalized story,” he said when asked about how they plan to lessen the gap between Eastern and Western releases.

“Our story is now complete, and we’re just about to start the voice casting and recording. Once that’s complete, we can really get into the localization process.”

There’s also something in there about a FFVII: Advent Children megaton (our words) at DKS3713 in Tokyo on August 2 and 3.
