The hardware sales are in for the week, and look at Japan:

	Japan
	76,826
	70,133
	19,660
	3,413
	13,646

The PS3 is so close to the Wii. Barely 6k separates the two. Can Sony squeeze out a week full of win before Galaxy drops the bomb?

You be the judge!

Updated:
Notable releases between now and Galaxy-ton:
Price drop THIS WEEK on 20GB and 60GB PS3 consoles (Oct. 17th)
Eye of Judgement (Oct. 25th)

Releases after Galaxy-ton:
Black and White 40GB PS3 (Nov. 11th)

I think they're pretty much screwed til' 08.

I'm not sure when the price-cut and 40GB launches in Japan.

If before Galaxy, then easily.
If not until after Galaxy, then it will be close, especially since EoJ is a new IP.

Whats the Japanese release date for White Night ?

sony have the chance this week

No, both have been dropping, and Wii will move up a lot quicker.

Those are Sept 30 numbers, not Oct 3 or Oct 13 weeks numbers.

Updated original post with release dates.

Not until December, I think.

I think megaxl may be right. With the price drops this week, there could be a surge enough to outsell the Wii for the next two weeks, before Galaxy-ton.

You are mistaken. The hardware numbers are up for Oct. 13 Worldwide on the front page, only the software hasn't been updated. See thread for details: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=8663&start=0#end

Well if the price-cut's are indeed this week, then I believe the PS3 can overtake the Wii in the weeks leading up to Galaxy, and maybe even compete the week the DW6 bundle is released.

The price cut will only have effect on the chartz for 1 day or so. Maybe hitting 15k and that it really, after this week is the high clime maybe to 20 or 30k, afterwards is 40gb vs SMG.
