those estimates for december are crazy.  you think the wii is going to have almost a 2 million sells month in december? You think the 360 is going to sell 50% less than it did last year in december?  craziness I tell you, crazy, but don't worry, I still respect you

1) The sales are for last week of November (VGC is only through November 24) as well as all of December. That's 5 weeks.
2) I could very well be too low on PS360 this december WW. But I did throw in that possibility in my last paragraph and even if they sale 3m this December, in the long run it won't matter. Neither of them will pass Wii, even if it left the market today.

I agree that the Wii will remain market leader, for sure.  I do tend to think there is a chance we might have a different leader in each major market though.  I'm pretty confident that the 360 will overtake the wii in NA and that the Wii will retain its lead in Japan.  The big question is if the ps3 can topple wii in Europe.  Overall, I expect the consoles to retain their respective sales positions as far as global position with the slight chance of ps3 overtaking the xbox, but their sales will be so close together that this would in the end be negligible...
