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

PS3 wins this week by 29k! But this doesn't make it the king of yearly sales this week... Because PS3 has been adjusted up and Wii adjusted down last week, and PS3 already got it's title a week ago. So congratulations PS3! It has won 27 weeks with last weeks adjustments and it's now 28 with this week's numbers.

Next week will be interesting, because PS3 has a couple of big titles plus the holdays boost, while Wii has Taiko 3 and holidays boost as well.

Next week's releases:

Week starting 12/02

PS3

- Tales of Graces F (Special Edition)
- Tales of Graces F
- Fist of the North Star Musou International
- 428 (Cheaper Edition)
- Killzone 2 (Cheaper Edition)
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Cheaper Edition)
- Dante's Inferno (Cheaper Edition)

Wii

- Taiko Drum Master 3 Wii Drums Controller Bundle
- Taiko Drum Master 3 Wii
- Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen Special
- Kamen Rider: Climax Heroes OOO
- Baby Sitter Mama Baby Doll Bundle

Dante's Inferno sold enough to get a re-release? We must be undertracking it. Congrats to PS3 for its victory. Could Wii catch up for total sales for the year? We should have a pretty good idea after next week.

So far this year:

HW

PS3	1,288,703	(-30%)	5,875,512
Wii	1,202,274	(-41%)	10,877,696

SW

Wii	8,899,646	(-33%)	50,368,979	(4.63)
PS3	8,807,590	( 11%)	25,773,165	(4.39)

Very close race indeed on both fronts. While PS3 has a couple of big hitters remaining for the year, Wii has DKCR and lots of evergreen titles, so SW will end up being really close, in fact, PS3 could overtake the Wii next week with ToG and Fist of the North Star International.

On the HW side, PS3 has 2 new bundles coming up on the 3rd week of December, so that could be interesting too.
