This isn't to undermine the PS3 or anything, but I really think the PS3 is on top right now by default. It is basically the least flawed console at the moment. Xbox 360 has few new games for it, and Kinect is plummeting towards inevitable irrelivency without any new games released for it. PSP is becoming outdated aside from Japan, eclipsed by DS and 3DS. And Nintendo in general has taken a turn for the worse lately with all its platforms, reverting back to its hardcore ways while ignoring the mass market, which has marginalized their fan base to a small niche.

So basically, I don't exactly see PS3 as doing the best right now, but at doing the least that is wrong. The industry is in a sad state right now, as all three companies are either standing by idly or making dumb moves.
17,605 76,798 48,547 142,950
55,526 27,288 45,343 128,157

If PSP is outdated out of Japan, what is the 3DS in EMEAA??

Newly launched.

The Wii did 61,000 in EMEAA in its 9th week (the weeks before were influenced by the holiday season)
The DS did 47,000 in EMEAA in its 6th week. 
The Ps3 did roughly 40,000 in its 6th week. 
The X360 was selling ~ 40,000 in the period in week 10 (the period before that was influenced by the holiday season).

Simply put, the 3DS isn't an instant success out of the gate, but practically no video game machines ever are.

Yeah, but why would you call the PSP outdated in EMEAA if it's selling better than a Nintendo handheld that just launched?

PSP has been out for awhile and has an plethora of games in its library built up over the years. 3DS really has no major games out right now aside from another Nintendogs and a Layton sequel. It simply needs more games. So the difference is PSP is aging, while 3DS is barely in its fetal stage right now.
