I thought the PS3 - 360 gap might drop into the 30k level... but its actually down to 26k now.

YOY

Wii down 38k 18%
360 down 2k 2%
PS3 up 32k 35%

I am convinced the 360 will have a better 2010 than 2009... despite the doom and gloom merchants here.

This week XB360 had huger releases than both PS3 and Wii, but while it kept better than Wii YoY, it was nevertheless a little bit down and a lot worse YoY than PS3. And regarding sales numbers it was last of home consoles. If it takes having the biggest releases to XB360 to achieve this, well, then we could extrapolate that also in Q4, getting the best releases it will be able to achieve around -2% YoY.

It will do better than that, but I wouldn't conclude it from this week.

I diagree... heres why

The 360 has had a slow start to the year software wise and yet it is only down around 3% YOY YTD...  Thats a good performance imo.

And of course its worse than PS3... what did you expect? Its sales at this point last year were the lowest so its bound to be up. Come August that flips...  The PS3 at 126k is a lot lower than quite a few here thought would be the minimum weekly sales level this year.

The PS3 at 126k is also a lot higher than a lot of people were expecting. A lot of people, including you if i remember correctly, thought it would be "impossible" for it to sell so well... Even expecting it to be neck and neck with the 360.

OT:
Hardware numbers are boring this time of year. Software is where the fun is at!
