Lol true, I guess they figured out only NSMBWii was needed, so they will ride it as long as possible, which horribly contradicts what he told the investors.

It might on GT5 launch week .

Any bets for this week? PS3 has got a new release Nobunaga's Ambition, which seems to have started pretty well, but NSMBWii sold more according to Famitsu.

This might be a close one.

I bet Wii leads until Yakuza kicks its ass

Wii will stay ahead.

Wii wins this week, although the lead is shrinking.

Any guesses for next week? PS3 has a couple new games and some rereleases, while the Wii has 1 rerelease only. They will probably end neck and neck.

The week after though Yakuza 4 will be arriving.

^Damn yeah, looks like NSMB momentum is not gonna be enough to keep it above PS3 while that gets new releases.

On another note though, NSMB is now only 200K behind Wii's top selling game in Japan and quickly taking it over! Bigger than Wii Sports!

Next week with Yakuza 4 and Torne it's almost a certainty but this week is too hard to call. PS3 seems to be baselining in the high 20ks but it's hard to say where the Wii's baseline is. I'm guessing somewhere in the low to mid 20ks. I'd say any week where the NSMB sells sub 30k PS3 will probably win. I'd really like to see what longterm effect Torne will have on PS3 sales.

This is amazing..
