The headline basically says it all. Enterbrain has released the Japanese lifetime sales numbers for the current generation of home consoles,

and here’s how it all plays out as of February 28th:

Wii: 10,007,736

PS3: 4,766,408

Xbox 360: 1,235,049

The Wii took 170 weeks to break the 10 million mark, which was 39 weeks longer than the PS2 took back in the day. They’re not “winning” by any means, but it’s nice to see that the Xbox 360 passed the 1 million mark. Microsoft made a mark with their system, perhaps gaining a foothold for their next release.

Square Enix has confirmed the first details on the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition, which is set for a European release on March 26.

The package will come with six extra challenge maps on the disc, which is set to hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Personal computer. The maps will have players facing off against Arkham’s inmates in locales such as Crime Alley and Scarecrow’s Nightmare.

But beyond that, the game will also support 3D on all three platforms. Citing an “innovative new technology” called “TriOviz 3D,” console players will be able to view the game in 3D, compatible with standard definition and HDTV sets.

The Arkham Asylum GOTY will ship with a pair of 3D glasses, insuring that you’ll see Bats and the Joker in all their 3D glory. No word on whether or not insurance will cover migraine treatment as a result.
