PS3 wins this week by 29k! But this doesn't make it the king of yearly sales this week... Because PS3 has been adjusted up and Wii adjusted down last week, and PS3 already got it's title a week ago. So congratulations PS3! It has won 27 weeks with last weeks adjustments and it's now 28 with this week's numbers.

Next week will be interesting, because PS3 has a couple of big titles plus the holdays boost, while Wii has Taiko 3 and holidays boost as well.

Next week's releases:

Week starting 12/02

Dante's Inferno sold enough to get a re-release? We must be undertracking it. Congrats to PS3 for its victory. Could Wii catch up for total sales for the year? We should have a pretty good idea after next week.

So far this year:

HW

PS3 1,288,703 (-30%) 5,875,512
Wii 1,202,274 (-41%) 10,877,696


SW

Wii 8,899,646 (-33%) 50,368,979 (4.63)
PS3 8,807,590 ( 11%) 25,773,165 (4.39)


Very close race indeed on both fronts. While PS3 has a couple of big hitters remaining for the year, Wii has DKCR and lots of evergreen titles, so SW will end up being really close, in fact, PS3 could overtake the Wii next week with ToG and Fist of the North Star International.

On the HW side, PS3 has 2 new bundles coming up on the 3rd week of December, so that could be interesting too.

I wonder how other consoles sales will look compared to PSP this week in Japan...

Wii wins this week by 17k, and it looks like it will be winning the remaining weeks of the year.

PS3 has a chance of winning 1 more week though, and it's the week of Dec 16th, there's 2 new PS3 HW bundles, Gundam Musou 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops (Dubbed) and a couple other new games, while Wii has just a few small releases. Still Wii is being pushed more by the Holidays, so we will see.

Next week's releases:
Week starting 12/09

So in total sales Wii will win the year but in total won weeks PS3 will win.  Holidays really are crazy time for Nintendo hw.



Funny how after all these weeks of PS3 outselling Wii in Japan, Wii will probably still inch its way to a winning year in 2010. I guess it's just that on the weeks Wii DOES outsell PS3 in Japan, it often does so by a huge margin, like the past couple of weeks. It's amazing how close the two consoles will be for the year.
