Update from the Wii to 5M / PS3 to 10M Japan thread.  Check it out here: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=87346&page=1

A couple of notes:

1) As expected, last week's PS3 numbers were adjusted upwards by just under 4k.  Also, last week's Wii's sales have been reduced by about 500.  So... the gap after last week should be about 4500 greater than indicated in my update.

2) PS3's sales are actually down compared to the same week last year despite normally outselling 2008 several times over.  The reason: GTA IV.  This has also more than halved the PS3's yoy percentage increase for the contest period.  Just goes to show you how much things can change when a console has a really good week and how insignificant these past few weeks have been in relation to what's coming.
