Here is the update from the Wii 10M / PS3 5M thread which you can check out here:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=87346&page=1

Notes:

1) Last week's numbers have both been adjusted upwards slightly.  Wii still ended up on top, but the difference was more than halved to 1,307.

2) As expected, Wii made back a big chunk of  PS3's lead this week, but fell considerably short of ioi's prediction (made Oct 21) of 155,000 sales.  Consequently the gap reduction was less than half of the predicted value of 110,000.

3) PS3 should still be leading the overall race when FFXIII launches (ioi's Oct 21 prediction has Wii reducing the gap by 75k next week), but there's a good chance that Wii will take over the "Since race start" lead next week.  This means Wii will have outsold PS3 when you exclude the 60k unit head start.

WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 06 Wii to 10M PS3 to 5M Lead
LTD total 8,927,960 4,016,737 Wii: 4,911,223
Left to target 1,072,040 983,263 PS3: 88,777
This week (yoy) 103,914 (+87.6%) 52,015 (+82.9%) Wii: 51,899
Since race start (yoy) 390,948 (+13.9%) 419,689 (+117.3%) PS3: 28,741

Thanks, you are always updating it earlier than me.. i m sorry for being a little slow in updating due to studies.

By the way i think Wii most probably will not be able to erase the lead held by PS3 since the start of the race next week as i think PS3 is going to see like 65 - 70k of HW sales n Wii hardware sales is going to drop in 80 - 90k.. So in the end PS3 just might held onto its lead by a razor thin margin.. If the reports of SE marketing compaign is to believe i think a lot of hype has been created for FFXIII and its going to sell lot of hardware next week so that they r ready for the FFXIII.. Moreover PS3 is steadily rising by 10k for last couple of weeks without any software and i think this rise is only going to accelerate next week for first mega launch for PS3 in Japan..

But it sure is getting a very interesting race now... with PS3 giving a very solid performance in Japan.
