I'll solve the mistery once and for all!
The PS3 is not selling 120k per week because it's suddenly more popular. Its sales are actually in sharp decline YoY. It's just that the other consoles have declined faster. We all know the Wii's story, it declined like crazy very fast. X360 hasn't had a cut last year, as opposed to PS3, therefore the YoY difference. It's also been a year longer out, year and a half in Sony's biggest market.
All in all 120k is not that great by this gen's standards. Compared to the other two you may think it's a lot and that it's having a popularity surge, but it's declining, although slower due to having had a cut and being newer.
About the software, VGC is known to have undertracked PS3 SW, probably because much of it is sold in regions that are hard to track. Also, when there's no big releases, the SW sales are more spread across many different tiles that sell a few thousand units, so you won't necessarily see the results of those PS3 purchases in the top 10. As long as SW sales for the week remain larger than HW sales it's not that odd.
