You meant America not Japan. The 360 has no chance at dethroning the PS3 in Japan.

And what do you think about the week after Galaxy ? I mean... that week called.... Thanks-Giving week ?   

My opinion : It will be insane...  

I wonder if the PS3 will have a boost next week, (above the natural) I can't imagine Uncharted not having an effect, IGN : "if you own a PS3 you owe it to yourself to buy this game." I for I one will be getting this a soon as possible (import). But you would really expect the PS3 to do better with Call of duty, Ratchet and a price drop

the wii sales are amazing. but i feel confident that they are still supply limited. I would really like to know how high those numbers would go if there was a supply shortage.

Japan Mario sales weren't good i.m.o (decent though, and will have strong legs)...

But America and us Europeans will show Nintendo why it is still worth making Mario's and Zelda's and Metroid's...! Good times are coming!!!

And damn... PS3 got close to Wii in Europe this week.... (price-drop, ANOTHER SKU and R&C... That's no surprise i guess... It's earlier a surprise that it didn't even catch Wii's weekly sales for ONE week...)

Japan: Ps3 surpasses Wii 1 week... Yey... Be happy! Not... It's actually sad that there had to be a price-drop another SKU... Huge game release to propell the system towards 'adequat' sales of 60k... But hey, now Wii owners (like me) can't say Wii owned the PS3 full year... U guys have 1 whole week! 

After SMG is out, Wii won't drop below 200K in America for at least a year. Better put that in my sig...

PS3 sales will drop.

Gametrailers gamers that were going to buy a ps3 soon are no longer buying one and headed towards a 360 purchase.

I expect sales to drop into the 50k range because of gametrailers(that was very low).

Disappointing week for the PS3 on the hardware sales front. They simply must do better. Even though the sales increased they did not increase enough. The Wii is selling just over three to one against the PS3. The 360 is selling two and a half times better. Combined for every PS3 Sony sells the competition has sold over five and a half consoles.

The percentages are very deceiving. The PS3 only sold an additional 8,342 units this week. The 360 sold an additional 35,117 this week. The Wii sold an additional 45,548 units this week. The difference is staggering only the lower PS3 volume is making it look anywhere close to competitive. This a week after it had a twenty five percent boost of its own.

The 360 actually saw a four fold increase in the additional sales over the PS3, and the Wii saw a staggering five and a half fold increase in additional sales this week. The other two are really receding into the distance now. This is what people mean when the say the PS3 is doing poorly.

Sony really could end up getting squeezed out of the North American market. Given this weeks sales the Wii and the 360 are going to be monsters this holiday season. Were next weeks increases to match this weeks increases. We have the Wii at 250,000 the 360 at 225,000, and the PS3 at just over 73,000.

Were the ratios to persist the PS3 probably would not get to three million in North America this year. While the 360 and the Wii might make it to 10 million and 8 million respectively. By the end of the year Sony might have less then fifteen percent of the market. Right now they hold around eighteen percent of the market. So these next few weeks are extremely critical.

These really are dangerous sales for the PS3. With the 360 and the Wii doing so well. There looks to be little reprieve, and if somehow Sony manages to slip below ten percent of the market. Well there will not be much Sony can do next year to help the situation.

Next week may tell the story, but someone else said it last week. This next couple weeks are crunch time for the PS3. The console needs more then slight improvements. Really it needs to get over a hundred thousand a week at some point this year if the other two are surging this well already.

 What new PS3 sku in europe? The 40 GB was release on 12th October, and R & C was only out for 1 day on the week ending 10th november

Wait...so does this include the 40gig PS3 sales in North America? Or not yet?
