PS3 sales being #1 is a great thing. Coming from me that may seem odd since I am always cheering Wii on but...PS3 deserves it now. Both Wii and 360 are getting NO exclusives at all while PS3 is seeing new releases all the time. If PS3 wasn't #1 it would be a shame.
Kinect sales are not doing nearly as good as I thought they would but I may have just had high expectaions but 360 sales are slowing faster than I thought for sure.
Wii...yes, it has hit its lowest week ever with only 115K this week. With that said, its not as bad as a lot of you on here are making it out to be IMO. When Wii gets a Price Cut and some more games such as Wii Play Motion Wii sales will go back up. Honestly, I don't expect it to go above and beyond like it used to but it should still do well. If PS3 gets a Price Cut it should stay #1 though.
3DS is doing perfectly fine IMO as it has no real Nintendo pusher yet but sales should go above and beyond by Holiday 2011 IMO. 3DS deserves every sale as its really a great Handheld and as soon as it gets more games I am sure it will explode like the DS/Wii used to.
DS...falling quicker than I expected but to be honest, I can see why. DS is Nintendo's worst Handheld ever IMO so I don't really understand the sales of it but I am happy 3DS already is great with a limited lineup.

I agree with you about PS3 100%. For 360, sales will jump in Fall. 360 might have less games then PS3, but Gears 3 and Forza 4 will generate more hype and sales then all of PS3's exclusives from that time period.
As for Wii, it may be getting a price cut real soon, it's already $170 at Best Buy. So this should boost Wii sales to about PS3 level leaving 360 behind and come fall Wii and 360 should both pick up above PS3. Year end, I still think Wii will come first, but it will be closer this year then any other year in the past.
As for 3DS, when the software comes, sales will jump. It's just annoying Nintendo promised 4 million 3DS's sold by the end of Q1 and I think at best they will get that at the end of May.
I thought DS was a oretty good console. Not as good for the hardcore as the GBA was, but there is a lot more casual software for the DS. I mean I play more Picross then any other handheld game. GB and GBA served the hardcore better with better Pokemon games, better Zeldas, more mainstream Metroid titles, and more new IP's like Advance Wars, Fire Emblem and Golden Sun. However DS had a proper Mario Kart, a couple good Super Mario games, a proper Mario Party, 2 new Pokemons plus a remake, a proper Animal Crossing and a lot of polished $20 titles such as Brain Age and Picross.
