on Famitsu PS3 & Wii had a 56K gap last week (before this weeks sales came out)

Effectively including this weeks sales, according to Famitsu PS3 & Wii's gap is only around 10 - 20K



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

@darth: Do you have the gaps by Media Create and Famitsu? It will be interesting to see which tracker has the smallest gap.

Great thread btw. Very balanced and provides both sides efficiently to get a good comparison on how each week will be for both PS3 and Wii. Been using this quite a bit to do my research on sales trends for both by the end of the year.



I think it's pretty stupid to put Tales of Graces right before Final Fantasy XIII.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Thanks :P I'm glad you liked it.

I'm trying to keep it updated as best as I can.

Update: Just added some other games like Modern Warfare 2 and some smaller Wii games.

A site has Taiko Drum Master 2 listed for a Nov 19th release, but I won't add it until it becomes official.
Samurai Warriors 3 doesn't have an official release date yet, but it should come really soon.

Wow, just seeing these releases, there is no way the Wii will outsell the PS3 this holiday season, since the Wii effect has affectedly gone down. PS3 is up for a monstrous holiday season in Japan.
