My guess is that Xbox360 fans also wanted the 360 to be on top this week.

Why the heck wouldn't they! I want it on top! But I don't think it desered to be on top. The console that sells the most deserves it. Well if we're being black and white, with GT5 launching in EMEAA ... it's a bit of a kick in the teeth Wii beating it there.

Not an easy task beating the Wii during its trusty ol' holiday boost. Actually, you can kinda say they deserved to lose this week due to the delays (away from earlier in the month, when it would have looked really dominating)
The Wii is surprising me, even if it's getting plenty of bundles to help it out. It really shouldn't, with how many of us were constantly going on about its strong holidays, but I guess all the doom / gloom got to me. Kinda makes me laugh now, at how many people were actually predicting Wii to be second or (*shock*) third during the holidays!
... Sorry, couldn't resist.
Nice GT5 sales, though it'll still need to pull through with legs to end up where I was expecting (>5m). I wouldn't be too worried, though, as games released closer to the holidays tend to have smaller first weeks, with its sales more spread out over the holidays. This gives it a favorable comparison to GT4, which released in March (I think?)
As for Epic Mickey, the sales do suck, but not exactly unexpected. Core Wii games in Europe seem hopeless, and I'm not sure Disney games are all that big there anyway. Just look at how the KH games did, sales are nowhere close to the US
