Wii numbers are much lower than I would expect for the console in Japan. Sure following the DQX announcement it went over the 100,000 plus mark for awhile as expected and It will probably be back over 100,000 a week when Monster Hunter G is released with its new classic controller, etc. However, in a normal week, last week, according to the new numbers put up in the Famitsu thread here today, we see the Wii only beating the PS3 by 15,000 units (less than the number that the PS3 outsold the 360 by), and I think it is because the Japanese, being more discerning in their gaming palates than senior citizens in the West that buy a Wii because their local news show says Wii Fit is a good thing for them to get moderate exercise with, do know that there are some shortcomings in the Wii's software library that is keeping it from getting mega numbers. If the PS3 is getting 30,000 sales a week and the Wii is getting less than 45,000 sales a week there, then I think there is more of a competition between the two than Nintendo, Nintendo fans, and the PS3 is deadz, crowd might be willing to admit.

I like how you ignore what I posted to you, showing your claims of the sales as bunk, and then you try to make some snyde comments about Wii owners in the west. Last I checked, Wii was still way ahead in Japan.
And for what you're trying to argue, it's funny that the Wii's sales are spiking up much higher than the PS3.

I wasn't trying to argue anything. I was stating a fact. PS3 sales in Japan for the week of 1-3-2009 to 1-10-2009 = ~29,000.
Wii sales = 44,000 for the same week. That is a difference of 15,000 units. That is smaller than the same week's gaps between the PS3 and the 360 ~20,000 unit difference in favor of PS3, the DSi and the PSP 17,000 difference between the DSi and PS3 in favor of DSi, and the PSP and the Wii 25,000 difference in favor of the PSP. And leads one to think that the competition is stiffer between the PS3 and Wii than the other consoles.
