Wow, this makes me wonder how 360 would be doing if the new model was the model that originally came out at launch.. Though very little software increase tells me that it is mostly existing 360 users who are upgrading. As is the case for me and a few friends I know who have 360s. Sales should start to fall soon to more normal levels, but they have solidified 2nd place with this slim model.

Strange (and sad) for me to see the Wii in 2nd, but then again it is the only console without a redesign, and has had only one price drop and one additional bundle this entire gen. If Nintendo can stick this one out and remain in first, after all the madness that Sony and MS have thrown their way this gen, I will be quite impressed. The final *major* obstacles for Wii are Halo Reach, GT5, and Kinect (I don't really consider Move a threat). If Wii can maintain its weekly lead after all the dust settles with those, it will be in the clear. The holiday season is when Nintendo should make up for any lackluster sales going on now. DKC will be like Nintendo's slim. I think over 50% marketshare is out of the question now (barring another Wii Fit type phenomenon), but Wii should still be able to remain in first and possibly even put some more distance between them and their competitiors.

PS3 is officially stuck in 3rd place, as MS has shown that their slim has countered the PS3 slim and then some. Not to mention it already has a 5 million lead on it, which will be nearly impossible to overcome this late in the gen, when 360 is still going strongly. PS3 has little coming up GAME WISE that will significantly move hardware besides GT5 and FFXIV, the latter of which is a long ways off.
