PS3 may be doing decent in Japan and Amazing in Others but I think that Sony will still be #3 Holiday 2010 because its going to fail hard in America when compared to the Wii and 360...

This week in America:

PS3__82K

Wii__86K

360__100K

PS3 is already #3 in America even with Move and 360 still has Kinect and Wii still has the Red Wii as well as tons of exclusives left. Sure PS3 has G.T.5 but Kinect should be bigger than G.T.5 in America. Also D.K.C.R should be able to have more of an effect than G.T.5 in America...throw in the Red Wii, UDraw, M.J.T.E, Golden Eye, and Sonic and you have an automatic win against the PS3 in America.

Did you look at the Japan and EMEAA charts for this week? lol

Before we start, the Wii outsold the PS3 by 4k and the 360 outsold the PS3 by 18k in America.

Japan (Rounded to nearest 1000) -

PS3  -20k
Wii - 12k
360 - 2k

EMEAA (Rounded to nearest 1000) -

PS3 - 142k
Wii - 86k
360 - 82k

Now in Japan the PS3 leads the Wii by 8k, and leads the 360 by 18k. Both of the American differences are already gone. The PS3 is  already ahead of the Wii by 4k actually.

EMEAA sales added, the PS3 leads the Wii by 56k here, and the 360 by 60k.

Do you see how the American differences of 4k/18k don't really mean all that much in the bigger picture?

Yes, but do you see that in America the PS3 is already #3 without Nintendo or Microsoft even doing anything...also same goes for Japan and Others PS3 had Move while Wii and 360 had nothing Move like yet.

The Americas market is slightly smaller than EMEAA alone, as long as PS3 can keep it up in Japan it won't need the Americas to be #1 or #2.

Very surprised by PS3 awesome sales, I just came back to the site a couple weeks ago looking forward to holiday sales and now I'm even more stoked.

When the Red Wii comes out in Japan I think the PS3 and Wii will be about equal there...but yes as of now PS3 sales are good to say the least. I don't think the PS3 claimed #1 this Holiday in Japan yet as the Wii still has a chance.
