I didn't see anyone post on this yet, so if there is one, sorry. 360 pushes well over 300,000 in NA while Ps3 does almost 200k! And I'm pretty sure this is the first time they both beat Wii in NA, Nintendo's constrained supply is really taking its toll.

I noticed that as well. Is it really supply that hampered the Wii in the US? Or is this a sign of things to come for the Wii?

That said, if retailers were stockpiling Wii's for big sales this past weekend, that could have had a huge effect on the sales, and we'll see outrageously high sales come out next week for the Wii.

Really sad PS3 numbers for US. The Wii explosion will be next week the 20m is getting harder and harder.... you hear me John lucas?



 

Supply issues. Supossedly there are some big shipments this week, so there SHOULD be a spike in the next results, but these are typical Christmas time swings.

It will be more interesting to see where things lie around Feb.

Hmmm....

Definitely very interesting and certainly the first time I've ever seen the Wii come last in America. But, as has already been said, I wouldn't be surprised to find out retailers have been holding back for the weekend before Christmas. Shipments are also due in, and I image Nintendo will try and push what they have left into play on that vital weekend before. Still, their numbers in Others are impressive to say the least, and there's still Japan to consider for this week as well. They could easily break 650k overall for this week alone, which is kind of frightening for them when you consider their supply for the whole month (unless stockpiled) is only 1.8 million.

Why would they neglect the US market during the festive period, surely they would dock supplies from japan where christmas isn't as big, wouldn't they? if you ask me this number is suspicious for this time of year

The PS3 numbers could be due to some people taking their time with picking up their gifts knowing that they are well within stock and can pick one up this week without a gamble to see if they can find one. This current week should see a big uptick in sales for all consoles as it's getting close to Xmas, only 1 week left. Some may have been waiting to see if there would be any sort of last minute Xmas sale or pack in that they can take advantage of.

We'll see what next week brings. That said, how many of you are shocked that the Wii pulled in 3rd place this week in America?
