I posted this in one of the other eight threads on this topic so I will add it here as well.
This is for Japan:
If you go back to the week of July 28th and compare it with the most recent week you get this...
Wii: -62.49%
PS3: -63.29%
360: -60.30%
I used the 28th because it was a corresponding high point for all 3 consoles before the downward trend in the recent weeks, so it was a good choice to be fair to all consoles.
As far as the 360 in the US, I would say it was expected for the 360 sales to go up this close to Halo 3 and it will continue to be that way in the US for a few weeks I agree. But on the WW level even at these already boosted sales levels the 360 is quite a bit behind the Wii. It will of course make a good run at overtaking the Wii when Halo 3 is launched but I am not convinced these sales will be long term or even that it will pass the Wii at all on a WW basis.
Either way the US issue is the 360 going up not the Wii coming down. And I don't think there are too many people who think the 360 is going to continue to sell at the Halo 3 launch week level so things will return to at least somewhere near normal by mid-October.
