I don't know if your best wishes will be fulfilled, but for now well deserved congratulations to GT5 for the important 8M milestone!

It amazes me how small the difference between PS3 and X360 is. And Halo 4 hasn't even released yet and the closer we come to Black Friday and Holidays the stronger the X360 will become.

I wander if it's overtracking by VGC (of the X360). But I often guess that and later come to realize how accurate VGC was once again.

Dont know where you got that assumption. Even if they did, doesnt mean they just stopped playing their Wiis. I imagine that most of these sales are for children who are interested in the game, and those tykes would still be playing on Wii while the older teens or adults would be playing on HDs. Hell id go so far as to say, the people who migrated from Wii to 360 did so to get away from games like these

Ps3 leads 360 by 35k this week. That isn't exactly small. PS3 leads have been huge since the FIFA 13 launch.(and I guess the Super Slim)

Yeah the PS3 lead is decreasing as the holidays are nearing. It is only expected. I expect this weeks numbers to show another increase for 360 and PS3 should be flat. On Assassin's Creed 3 week though, PS3 should get a boost that hopefully negates some of that Halo 4 boost on 360.

last years numbers from 22nd october for comparison:

PS3 238,974 (+4%)
3DS 210,930 (+20%)
X360 206,078 (+8%)
Wii 166,822 (+19%)
PSP 84,461 (-5%)
DS 77,876 (+12%)
Total 985,141 (+10%)

The Wii has declined in popularity this year and the 360 is the next most casual-friendly console so it is well positioned to scoop up some of the Wii audience. Look at Lego Baman this year; sold slightly better on 360 than Wii, while in the past the Wii version always sold the most. I thought the same thing might happen with Skylanders.

Wii delcine in popularity has little to with 360 "grabbing" any kind of audience and much more to do with Wii just not getting any real support even from Ninty. Those more family friendly titles will still sell better on Wii, than the other two, JD4 and Skylanders are evident of that. Id bet my bottom dollar that the Wii version of Epic Mickey will sell better as well. The only reason why Lego Batman is doing better on 360 cause the original was heavily bundled with 360. 

^Never agreed with you more Oniyide.

end of days? or a broken clock is right at least two times a day?

^Yep, even you can be right sometimes ;)
