Will the PS3 be able to outsell the Wii in Japan any week this year?

If move and the white 320 GB model give a bigger boost than Mario next week I think PS3's winning streak could go uninterrupted till late November.

I reckon it will be much later than that, sometime in 2011 it will be, PS3 will be ahead of wii for all the remaining weeks in 2010 in Japan and WW.

I still think that Wii should win Xmas WW anyway, due to its typical user base, features, price and SW offer.

I belive NSMBWIi may boost WIi HW again since no doubt there's lot of people out there who are willing to buy one but haven't got round to it yet, this is when the red wii bundled with NSMBWii comes in, I think this will at least Help Wii.  But still the recent low sales indicate that Wii will not sell mass amount, the highest it will sell in December will be like 500,000 WW.

500k WW best December week would be a little too low even not taking into account that the family friendliness usually gives Wii a bigger Xmas boost than to competitors: both XB360 and PS3 in the past had better December weeks starting from slower seasons weeks even lower than the current Wii ones.

What's for sure, though, is that even if Wii dominates next December, it won't be a domination as strong and overwhelming as in the past, and in Japan it won't be even granted any domination. This may be shocking for people used to Wii's performance of the past, but it's far from being dead.

BTW, releasing budget edition of Wii's greatest hits, as Zlejedi suggests, would make it a lot more appealing to potential new users, let's not forget that for new Wii users even games 4 years old are new, unless they already played them at friends'.
