TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp. sold 88,400 units of its PlayStation 3 game console in the first two days after the launch in Japan, leaving most stores without any stock, video game magazine publisher Enterbrain said on Monday.

The PS3 is up against Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360, which has been on sale for the past year, and Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s upcoming Wii game console, which is scheduled to go on sale on November 19 in the United States and December 2 in Japan.

The basic model of the PS3, equipped with a 20-gigabyte hard disk drive, sells for 49,980 yen (US$425), while a more advanced 60-gigabyte version is retailing for about 60,000 yen.

Suggested Retail Prices in Hong Kong:
PlayStation 3 HDD 60GB Model: HK$3,780
PlayStation 3 HDD 20GB Model: HK$3,180
