So I'm guessing:

PS3 - 575k-600k

X360 - 475k-500k

So you expect ps3 hardware to go down in others

Edit: OH SHIT I was looking at X360 others numbers LOL (which is around 135k)

 

Woops, my bad lol. Ok heres my updated prediction:

 

Americas 425k

Others 205k+

Japan 32k

Total: 660k-700k

 

Still the same for 360 (475-500k)

 

X360 outsold by around 200k :o

 

So you're predicting only an 8% lift for Others and 0% for Japan? I would think more like a double digit difference between WE 21 Nov and 28 Nov is on the cards for Others. For Japan you might be right, it could flatten for WE 28 Nov and then start to rise from there. For Others I'd suggest slightly higher, possibly up to 220K at the high end (16% week on week increase).

And wow! I just noticed that if PS3 does reach 450K for BF week then that is double what it did on the week before Christmas in 2008. And the week before Christmas is a bigger sales week by about 15% on average than BF week. So PS3 pre-Christmas week (WE 20 Dec) in Americas should be over 500K for 2009. Because that is FFXIII week in Japan we should see a big week from Japan too, and in Others the 2008/2009 YOY sales increases are really going up so pre-Christmas week in Others should be close to or over 400K (actually because Others outsells America for PS3 most weeks, including in the holiday period, Others might top 500K in the pre-Christmas week). A million selling week for PS3 in 2009 is still on the cards it seems. FFXIII in Japan should just about guarantee it. But even without FFXIII in Japan PS3 could do it with America and Others sales alone, if the current momentum continues.

Wii should have a 1 million week in America alone pre-Christmas, just like 2008.
