Wii>360>>>>>>PS3

Thats my prediction for the next 2 weeks in the US.

I agree with the Wii bbeing above everyone else, as they have been nearly the entire holiday season (and even I'm helping out their numbers as my fiance wants the red special edition and we ordered that).   But the PS3 has been fairly close to the 360 so far and if the Walmart special helps push the PS3 to a 10-20% increase as I've never seen lines like that for the PS3, it could easily overtake the 360 this coming week.  I can't remember if this sale was for this weekend only, or if it's going all week.  If it's all week I can see the numbers being outrageous on both. 

Speaking of which, does VGchartz get it's data from Wal Mart directly, or is it some sort of "estimate" based on a secret equation from the sources they do get the information from?   Either way, it's great seeing the video game industry making out like gangbusters for all consoles (with exception of the psp

maybe hes talking bout NA

b/c 360 had $75 deal on there $299 model with the HDD for the whole week at WM

He was talking about NA, however the stock on 360 units is much lower than that of the PS3 currently as many walmarts have been sold out of them with the deals going on.  I saw no one buying 360's that night, but like you said, it could be because the deal had been running all week.  Myself, I didn't see any ad's for the 360, just the Wii and PS3.   Even if I were conservative from what I saw at the walmart in my neighborhood and what they sold, it could easily be boosted by a few hundred thousand which would put it on par with or above the 360.
