I think it will surely outsell both for a week and maybe even two. I do however feel that this will be a blip in it's sales chart and won't be sustained enough to really make a difference.

I'm surprised seeing how many people is saying PS3 will not outsell Wii next week. Come on, is not a bad thing, and it's obvious that after a price cut and a new model popoular like the slim the Wii wil be outsold. Nothing bad for Wii fans, it's just for 1 or two weeks, then the Wii will take another time the crown of king, even thought it won't take the 50% market share for months because of this.

By that definition, Hitler would be one of the most popular historical figures....
The second and third one are different contexts.
The DS is/will be the most popular console of all time. The NES has a significant place in history and in gamers minds, but considering how Wii is tracking, Wii is far more popular. Even relative to the population (which hasn't increased enough to make the NES relatively more popular in the US).
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
It should, if it doesn't then the Playstation brand is even more dead than we thought.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
I'd be surprised if it didn't.
It'll be much more interesting to see what kind of long term momentum this generates for PS3-and what, if any, response comes from Nintendo/Microsoft in the event Slim does create long term PS3 momentum.
PS3 not outselling the other consoles next week would be a complete failure. We're not talking about just a price cut here, it is a complete hardware revision coupled with a drop in price.
But in reality these next few weeks aren't the interesting ones, except for the Sony fanboys to cheer their console on. The more interesting weeks come when the PS3 slim start to drop from its launch peak sales back to normal levels of sales. And these numbers should give a far better assessment of how the PS3 will fare in the holidays compared to the other 2 consoles.

That's nice for Gundam, but Gundam is a game, not a console, and no information on how much was bundles and how much was independent games, gundam games are always popular in Japan, so many phat owners probably bought it.
yes it'll probably outsell Wii next week, but don't expect some huge number, even PS2 getting a price drop didn't get that system up to 400K, so expecting the slim to do it is unrealistic, since the PS2 was much more popular than the PS3
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
