I still don't know what will happen first, 1 million for 360 or 3 million for the PS3.

360 - 0.94 million
PS3 - 2.88 million

Considering that the PS3 is selling on average 2x that of the 360 it is possible that it may happen at the same time!

Numbers for this week last year

Wii Sold 79k last year. DOWN 58k = DOWN 73%. Man that is nasty

DS Sold 61k last year. UP 4k = UP 6%

360 Sold 3k last year. UP 7k = UP 233%. Amazing.

PSP Sold 55k last year. DOWN 22k = DOWN 40%.

PS3 Sold 18k last year. UP 1k = UP 5%.

Think that is the first time i have seen an increase in PS3 sales yoy in Japan for a long long time. However the weekly gap between the PS3 and 360 is closing, 360 is doing a lot better then it was.
