In North America, the X360 and PS3 are too feature similar. Relatively low HD adoption rates and console prices well outside the magical $200 price range means Joe Casual won't grab it as an impulse buy (I'll get flamed for that one.) Expect sales to basically stay the same. Well, until the epic Sony vs Microsoft War gets started later this year.
The Wii sales can be attributed to people trying to buy a Wii after Christmas. Also, Nintendo's Wii raincheck program ensures Nintendo will get Christmas-like sales throughout January.
There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
