The 360 might be ahead next week if these numbers continues this way.

Nah, the further we get from GT launch week, the more stabalised PS3 numbers will become (in terms of natural holiday boost) I expect PS3 to get a bigger boost than 360 next week, but not dominate over 360 again this holiday due to Kinect obviously taking off ELSEwhere than America and UK.
Who'd thunk it psrock?

I am actually quite surprised, but sadly those numbers are bound change as they do each year. Who knows, 360 is probably winning anyway the last few weeks. It's hard to believe Kinect is now starting to have an effect.

In the grand scheme of things I don't find it remotely hard to believe. When it comes to casuals, this is an evoloution to Wii, it's going to captivate them the same way. It's exactly why its next xmas is going to be bigger than this one, and why 20 mill is a lock on, even if mid year sales die down a tad.
Kinect will be a best seller at christmas for a few years to come yet. When it reachs $99 and then $69... well

Why do you keep comparing it to the Wii? Its an addon, it will have as much as an effect as Wiifit. And it's blowing up in one country while doing well in others.

Because its more comparable to the Wii than to WiiFit. Sure, its an addon but people are buying it because they want Kinect, not because they want Kinect Adventures. WiiFit was about the game, not the balance board. Plus Kinect is about multiple games people look to play with it while WiiFit was about that one game.
Kinect has taken reinvigorated 360 redesign sales and boosted them even more. People are hot for it and this demand isn't going to go away. As they add more core games and features, they'll even get 360 owners like me to buy it. But, as the reported bundle sales have shown, it IS growing the userbase in a significant way this season and don't expect that to stop.
As for the country thing, EMEAA sales for this week have it selling more than the 360 and only 30k less than the PS3. Its not just one country.
