I kind of curious on why Famitsu and MC have shown the PS3 just barely higher then the Wii for the last 4 weeks, yet VGchartz has shown the Wii just barely higher than the PS3 for the same time period. I understand that they don't necessarily use the same sources to extrapolate data, but odds are for one of those weeks with sales being as close as they were they would be the same.

They've been basically tied, and the data more or less reflects that. Also, while MC has had PS3 ahead the last 4 weeks, Famitsu hasn't afaik, and neither has Denegeki.

I'm not arguing the statistical tie. I actually think that's kind of neat. I just think it's a bit weird that not once in this 4 week period has VGChartz and MC agreed on who had the slight edge no matter who it may be. I would think the laws of probability in flipping 2 coins 4 times each... One of those times they'd both show heads, or both show tails.

Yeah, it's odd but the numbers are so close (even within 100 units some weeks) that it's a bit of a nonissue. Hardware sales in Japan likely have kinda been sucking all around. :/

PS3 is up H2H vs 360 since its launch now it is time to make up that year one gap. Mod Nation is too low hopefully it will be around 80 k next week instead of 50.

NSMB Wii..That's incredible legs.

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:

If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Good Wii, that doesn't drop YoY, very good PS3 that still keeps part of its boost even in slow periods, PSP virtually dead in America, decent in Others and excellent in Japan, just as baffling as XB360, that doesn't manage to resurrect its own HW sales even during series of excellent SW sales weeks. Oh well, with the best attach rate, money that flows from royalties with almost 100% profit, and the only user base willing to pay even basic online multiplayer features, MS can't really complain. So every contender should be happy.
