The PS3 numbers could be due to some people taking their time with picking up their gifts knowing that they are well within stock and can pick one up this week without a gamble to see if they can find one. This current week should see a big uptick in sales for all consoles as it's getting close to Xmas, only 1 week left. Some may have been waiting to see if there would be any sort of last minute Xmas sale or pack in that they can take advantage of.

We'll see what next week brings. That said, how many of you are shocked that the Wii pulled in 3rd place this week in America?

 Not surprised it came in thrid, I was expecting that, what surprises me is that its less than in others
