GTAIV will do it for a couple of weeks.
No other game will do it.

it somewhat puzzles me how anyone can pick the wii over a ps3 or 360 for that matter.
i have a wii also but its more of a novetly games machine, no way would i say its even close to my ps3 or 360
it may be the case that ps3 never overtakes wii in japan
...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...
PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk
really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...
Excuse my ignorance but will GTA4 have a simultaneous worldwide launch a la Halo 3? If not then I can't see it happening given the combined effects of Brawl, Wii Fit and Mario Kart launches across various territories. Likewise with MGS4.
Hopefully, Nintendo will address its supply issues soon, in which case sales will become more stable unlike the regular fluctuations we see from week to week. When this happens I dont think anything less than a significant price reduction will propell the PS3 past the Wii, and of course this will only be a short term irregularity.
@Skeeuk Casuals are doing it, and maybe the novelty of blu rays also wears off?

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

You really overestimate the importance of MGS4. I give you a small hint of a game that is way more important, comes earlier, is shared with 360 and has theft in it's name.
When that game arrives I think PS3 should outsell Wii for one ore more weeks.
Btw, what will happen, when Wii will meet demand, but PS3 will be able to outsell it for several weeks(thnx to MSG4 bundle or pricecut) ?

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.
Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.
1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.
PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far
what a stuuuuuupid question!!
it will pass Wii sales when Wii is sold out EVERYWHERE, or when Wii stops being produced.....

That is a possibility, espicially if a significant number of wii owners decide they want a second console with better graphics. I don't see it happening in 2008 (at least not world wide) though.... 2009 would be the earliest.
I am just curious, what will THAT mean, IF that happens?
Just imagine, Wii selling 350k(50k jap, 100k eu, 200k us) and PS3 at 299$ 370k(70k jap, 150k eu, 150k us).
Then what?
