Red Wii Mario Anniversary bundle.  Nov 11th iirc.



PS3 wins this week by 15k, 14 consecutive weeks.

It's at 25 won weeks this year, just 1 more to ensure at least a tie in total weeks won.

Next weeks releases:
Week starting 11/04

PS3

- Fallout: New Vegas

Wii

None.

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.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Updated the OP with major new releases.

DKC Returns is getting released the second week of December.
The official GT5 Steering Wheel comes out the 25th of November, does that mean....?

Would fit in with the rumored November 24th date of SCEE... And all the other rumors of it releasing Black Friday week in the US!

Will Nintendo be selling the Red Wii separately?



PS3 wins another week, this time by 11k, extending the streak to 15 consecutive weeks.
It has officially won enough weeks to at least tie with the Wii, with 26 out of 52 possible weeks, so 1 more and it would mean an overall yearly victory.

So GT5 and the GT5 bundle have been confirmed for a November 25th release in Japan, and that might be the week when PS3 finally gets to beat the Wii in total number of weeks and claim a yearly victory. It could happen sooner though, with the Torne PS3 bundle coming out Nov 18th.

Next week will be interesting as well, Wii will be getting Red Wii bundle, so it will most probably cut the 15 consecutive week streak the PS3 has gotten. Then until year's end, it will be anyone's guess which console will remain on top. Personally I expect fluctuations with PS3 beating the Wii less times, but remember 1 more time and PS3 will be the weekly king of sales this year in Japan.

Next Week's Releases:
Week starting 11/11

Impressive PS3, but it will be very interesting too to see how much Wii will be able to reach starting from so low.
