Thanks to the erratic nature of when Wii shipments arrive, coupled with semi-erratic 360 shipments, the sales percentage rates per week have actually been all over the place, but ultimately average out rather close to the current market share. To wit:

 

Wii % PS3 % X360 %
50.61% 28.68% 20.71%
39.51% 34.25% 26.24%
47.78% 31.36% 20.86%
51.07% 29.71% 19.22%
52.91% 29.62% 17.47%
56.99% 24.73% 18.28%
42.89% 33.60% 23.51%
42.98% 33.20% 23.82%
53.09% 25.30% 21.61%
39.64% 34.33% 26.04%
46.19% 28.44% 25.36%
     
     

 

   

Which levies out to 48.46% Wii, 29.84% PS3, and 21.69% 360, when dealing with the actual hardware sales for the year compared to one another.

As you can see, the year-long market share is shifting, but it's shifting from the 360 to favor the PS3 faster than it's shifting from the 360 to favor the Wii. The ultimate side-effect of this is that the Wii appears to be keeping a consistent market share while the PS3 appears to slowly be gaining market share, which is true in the larger picture. In the year-over-year picture, the Wii is still gaining market share, and the PS3 is gaining market share a bit faster than it. Whether or not this will hold up after the end of the fiscal year is doubtful, however. As the week-over-week percentages show, it can fluctuate madly.
