It really depends on the demo. Even with the big releases, and including this week PS3 has only sold Wii eight weeks. It will probably extend to nine despite the coming MHG bump. If the demo is still in rabid demand on Golden Week (even for FFXIII I cant imagine more than 500,000-600,000 would pay $60 for a 30 minute demo - FFXIII will debut at probably 1.3m on PS3 - so I think 600k is fair for an LTD demo figure) the streak could extend, albeit with far less substantial weekly lead than this week for 11 weeks.

But after that?

There are only ten PS3 games scheduled to release between now and June 24.

Shin Sangoku Musou 5 Empires should do ok, and Agarest Senki will too but of the ten...thats kind of it. Killzone 2 isn't going to be anything special in Japan, and the others don't look big either.

PS3 should overtake Wii for the year in Japan on Famitsu sometime in the next few weeks, but ~May 10 to June 24 or so looks pretty quiet for PS3, so I could see Wii retaking the lead in mid/late May even if PS3 wins Golden Week, and then erasing the PS3 build up quickly once Wii Sports Resort comes out (probably mid June?)
