With all consoles combining for sales of 1,000,000 units last week (Wii, PS3, PS2, X360) the answer is "now". 1m this early into November is amazing.

But as others have said, Black Friday in the US is the start of the buying frenzy (although we've already seen NA and Others take significant positive strides as of late).

With the X360 already selling 250,000 units this week, it bodes very well for the console. I would venture to say we'll see the Wii hit 1,000,000 units/wk for at least 1 week before the uber-Christmas week, and up to 3 weeks @ 1m a week...Will be interesting to see if the Wii can break it's record last year and move 2 million consoles in a week. Would be insane if it happened.

Microsoft will have another banner year thanks to the price drop + strong library...I think it could flirt with the 1,000,000 mark on the week before Christmas.

Sony? I'm not too positive about Sony. It's been a year since the price drop, and a $400 present isn't going to look the nicest next to a $200 X360 and a $250 Wii. I think it'll sell on the same level it did last year.

thats what people said last year regarding ps3, look how it turned out, last fall ps3 ended up doing tremendously well, if im mistaken it out pipped 360 worldwide or similar level to 360 sales.
