Playstation domination shouldn't be such a surprise really, at least not at this price point. It's the 360 domination the should come as a surprise.
Remove the weekly sales of Japan for the 360 and the numbers won't change that much the same can't be said for the PS3 so Japan alone makes a big difference. PS3 wins hands down Japan.
Now for EMEAA, PS3 is supposed to be available in more countries than 360 so of course those country have no choice. PS3 wins in other countries.
Once those are cleared out, PS3 domination isn't that true anymore. The countries where both 360 and PS3 are available is either a "estastical tie" or mostly dominated by the 360 and the PS3 taking the lead in smaller markets.
Every weeks, the PS3 sells an average of 20-30k more than 360 to countries where it's not available and to Japan where 360 has no impact at all.
As for the Wii, now that it faces competition from Kinect and the Move, that it lacks new games and with the confirmation of a new console on the horizon, it's just normal that the sales slows down a lot.
That's not domination in my book. It's on par!

how is 360 domination a surprise? its best region from the start has been the us, while it has been ps3's weakes region(rank wise). other then that that 500 million budget for kinect adds was mostly used in the states, and then theirs the demographic of americans which makethe 360 a more useful console for them.
now when it comes to emeaa the 360 isnt availeble in countries in asia and africa. so lets add up numbers without those regions.
360:44.8k
ps3:60k
thats about a 15k difference. now we dont know how significant the sales in those countries in asia and africa are. because if the me gives us half of those sales and the significance would be minimal because the ps brand is huge their, and because the 360 is very poorly supported in that region.
also you cant count out japan its still important.

I counted out Japan because it makes most of the difference. Remove 360 Japanese sales or keep it there the results are almost the same. I don't remove it because I think it's a non important market, but because to the PS3 domination even if you remove Japan from 360 the PS3 still has the same difference so it's irrelevant in 360's case.
Then we're left with your calculation about EMEAA which we agree on.
Imo a 15k difference spread across countries where PS3 is more implemented or the only HD console to be sold is not domination.
Add all markets bar Japan they're almost selling on par. Now add Japan and PS3 is king, in the end PS3 sells better because it's selling in more countries and because the 360 has no presence in Japan, that's my response to the thread... and it's imo.
