Decent numbers for all for being a low point in the sales year. The DS being so high seems strange knowing the succesor is just around the corner. Has there ever been a time when a console that was still regularly leading weekly hardware sales had a succesor released? I'm thinking maybe the PS1? I don't know if the GBA was outselling it at the time the PS2 was released though.
Also, it seems that a lot of people still seem to think that it was the $100 PS3 price cut last year that has led to the higher sales. With the 360s performing so well without a pricecut, I really think it was the slim redesign that had the much larger impact, with the pricecut just being an extra incentive.
I think the Wii will probably drop for the next couple weeks without major releases and the time of the year trends. I think Nintendo can get away without a pricecut on the Wii if they are agressive in other ways, like special liited bundles on Black Friday, lots of advertising (including advertising major 3rd party titles), maybe a price cut on the Wii Fit plus package.
With Reach and Move in next week's data, it seems like the sales should really be interesting from here on through the holidays.
