I doubt PS3 will beat Wii unless there's a sudden shortage of Wiis or every person in Japan has a Wii already. It's hard to compete against price and it's hard to capture the casual market the way the Wii already has.

And how did the PS3 manage to outsell the Wii during many weeks last year?

It's all about the SW, which the Wii will be lacking for a few months to come. HW doesn't sell on its own.

The FF13 did help the PS3 for a few weeks last year not to mention the PS3 price reduction and slim release.  But I don't see any games other than Yakuza 3 that would appeal to the Japanese.  The fact the the Wii comes with Wii sports solidfies the casual market for Nintendo.

Wii doesn't come with Wii Sports in Japan, and the PS3 outsold the Wii for many weeks even before the Slim was released. You probably are just guessing.

Well, you got me on the Wii sports in Japan.  I was wondering about that as I was typing it but I was too lazy to look it up.

But back to the OP on whether the PS3 will beat the Wii in any particular week this year.  Currently it seems that Wii is outselling the PS3 on a 3:2 margin.  I can see a few weeks that the PS3 will outsell the Wii(Yakuza 3 release) but for the most part I think the Wii will outsell PS3 90-95% of the time.
