This is the update from the Wii 10M / PS3 5M race thread:

Notes:
1) Last week's numbers for both consoles have had very small upwards adjustments.
2) This is the "new" first week that Wii has outsold PS3 since the start of the race (and also the first time since the Slim launch). This time it should stick.
3) PS3's lead is almost exactly 100,000 more than the lead predicted by ioi (39k) in his Oct 21 revised projections through this week.
4) PS3's lead going into NSMBW week is comparable to the peak weeks of Wii sales during holiday 2008 (141,141; 148,627; and 130,613). This means that PS3 should still be leading after next week (ioi predicts Wii outselling PS3 by 110,000 next week) but obviously with a somewhat reduced margin.
