According to fishy joe(read my signature) a moderator on the site, its believed that amazon is a great source for sales.

On topic:

Im not so impressed, I expected blu-ray to drasticly pull up PS3 sales beyond the 100k point, though this is barely a victory in my books, its still on the margin of error, and the two consoles are basicly = in this weeks sales. Though I keep wondering what would happen if the PS3 was priced the same as the wii in this region.

Wow Leo-j, do you really need to ask that, I think it's quite clear there would be no Wii.

Will people ever realize how stupid they sound when they say stuff like that. The GC was cheaper than the Wii at $199 and got owned. The price isn't why the Wii is winning. I wish Sony would just bite the bullet financially and drop all SKUs below $200 so that once sales normalize again after the price drop spike and the Wii still doesn't disappear the fanboys would shut up. Of course knowing them they'd just pick another reason to complain so I guess it's useless.

 The argument about price is relevant. Simply because when the gamecube was geting owned as you put it, there wasn't such a large disparity in price between it and the ps2 as there is with the wii and ps3. Keep in mind that the ps3 launched for $599 and the wii at $250. When the ps3 does hit ~250 and if it is still geting hammered in sales by the wii then we can say that price isn't an issue and people are solely geting it because of preferance. Keep in mind most people do have a budget.
