Wii will reach 10m before PS3 reaches 5m. We're probably looking at 30k vs 15k this week in Japan but from next week onwards (with the exception of FFXIII release week) Wii should be ahead on a weekly basis and will therefore sell-through 1.5m quicker, expecially over the holidays where Wii sales should be probably twice PS3 sales.

ioi I disagree, unless the wii price drop boosts demand i see there sales dropping the entire year (aside for bumps from good games)

like look at how the wii sales have been going down liek crazy year over year http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156&weekly=1 

i agree that the will will outsell the ps3 weekly yes (not by much) but I think that christmas time will be dominated by the ps3.  

Let me see, if i got the Wii trend in Japan right:

Average weekly 2007 sales -> 60-70k. Average Christmas 2007 sales -> 170-220k

Average weekly 2008 sales -> 40-50k. Average Christmas 2008 sales -> 100-150k

Average weekly 2009 sales -> 15-25k. Average Christmas 2009 sales -> ????????

Does everyone see this or it`s only me?

Probably, some people here have same faith in NSMB, just like me in FFXIII or maybe even more.
But again, PS3 was hardly a competitor last year at 40k yen and without Huge games.
Now it`s another story. I think, if PS3 was able to sell 150k during slim release and pricecut, it will be able to sell 250k during Christmas and FFXIII release. PS3 was able to sell a lot during RE5 and FFXIII demo releases even at 40k price, now situation is much better -> Price+Game+Christmas.
