Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

I think PS3 will probably squeak ahead thanks to Hokuto, but it'll be close (like ~5k).



PS3 wins this week by 12k, making it the third week of the year so far.

Next week, PS3 is the only platform getting a game with chances of selling a significant amount of games. Pro Baseball Spirits 2010, should do decently.

Guesses? PS3 might stay ahead by a minimal margin if PBS 2010 performs well and due to the second week of Shin Hokuto.

^ Yearly figures so far.

PS3 might pass Wii in SW this week. It's only 100k behind but early figures show Pro Baseball Spirits and Hokuto both at ~80K.
HW is close too but not quite enough.

Guesses for this week?

Woah!  I'm actually a little surprised PS3 isn't already ahead of Wii in software given it's heavy Q1 lineup (Star Ocean, EOE, AT3, BH5AE, Yakuza 4, Hokuto Musou, etc).  The most notable things Wii's had in comparison is DarkSide Chronicles and the Minna no Susume budget line. 

Both are looking pretty sad for spring though.  Feels like Sony really blew their load in Q1, and Nintendo's just been pathetic all year. :/



Q2 lineups finalized (finally!)... we might see a few more May/June announcements, but this is probably it... new releases only...

...looks like PS3's caught a bit of that Wii malaise for Q2, while Wii's recovered slightly.  Also, wtf @ 360's kinda okay lineup?  It has more games than PS3 OR Wii?! lol!



PS3 wins this week by 6k! 3rd in a row.

Guesses for next week? PS3 has a couple re releases and Wii has no games. Looks like they will be really close.

Also, I have updated the OP with the upcoming releases of May and June so you get a better perspective.
