I know that consoles being sold in Japan shows how well it can sell to other countries, but the total still matters to me, wii is doing a whole lot better than the ps3. but i can understand that the japanese prefer mature rated games than kiddie games( no offense )

Amazing how little Wii sales (14k-20k) have changed as PS3 sales swing wildly (15k to 58k)

My bet is also with you. PS3 should have at least 1 more week until the Wii overtakes it. Who knows though since it is hard to predict PS3 sales in Japan. The PS3 might even have 10 weeks in a row but we will have to wait and see. :D

I doubt the PS3 will outsell the wii this week or next week.
