It looks like XB360 is starting leveling in America. and around a quite high number.

You really need two weeks (at least) of nearly level sales to state something is leveling off.   So far each week 360 has dropped in US since the launch, so strictly speaking there isn't any clear levelling off at this point.  Now it it's around 90K next week then maybe, but if the 90k is including lost sales due to supply then demand might even rise... bottom line I think it's a little premature to see things as levelling off.  IMHO anyway!

Whatever, good 360 numbers.  28% drop is good given supply issues.  I'm very curious to see where by region it settles (if it does settle anytime soon given the number of casual effects on the horizon for the console.

PS3 doesn't seem to be losing much demand to the 360 at this point.  With PS3 up a bit YOY and the surge in 360 I'm wondering what the combined market for an HD console is going to look like going in December.

Wii meanwhile seems to be on a steady dip now, even though overall it's sales are decent enough.

PSP so low in US as to be mind boggling.  DS back on top.  Looks like (unless demand bumps again) it was a 2 week number 1 spike for 360 on the back of the new model.  Not bad really.
