@Jarrod Depending on how you define the start of the year PS3 is either 36k up on the Wii or 28k down as of last week's numbers. Could someone clarify if Dec 28 2008-Jan 3 2009 is this year or last? I would assume last since it has 4 days in 2008 and 3 in 2009.


VGC defines 2009 as including the week ended Jan 4. (And yes, it's Jan 4.  Japan's sales weeks end on Sunday making the week in question 3 days of 2008 and 4 days of 2009.)  I'm not sure how Famitsu and MC define the year.  Someone else had indicated to me that they include that week in 2008 but I've never looked it up.

IIRC, the new year week always gets counted with the, well, new year.
