NSMBWii will close the gap and probably put the Wii ahead  but it won't be enough to break the 10 mill and then FFXIII comes.

Anyway this is kind of a moot discussion, I don't think either of the console will break their milestone ( 10 mil for Wii, 5 mil for PS3) before March 2010 or so...

The spike this week is for WE2010 (I misspoke earlier), which also has a console bundle.  Or do you mean last week?

I was thinking that Wii should hit 10 million first and it would be a no brainer. However, I'm having second thoughts. There's pent up demand for PS3 and Wii is kind of hitting some saturation so they're selling equally now. There's also FF13 and GT5 coming up in which will propel sales for PS3. The price cut for Wii helps but I think it's offset with the upcoming PS3 software release. Now I'm not so sure who'll hit their mark first. It'll be much closer than I originally thought.

I mean last week numbers which we will get this week :P( bayonneta and teken 6 week)

That being said, don't you think that NSMBWill will have a more lasting effect than FFXIII?

FFXIII will boost hardware sales for 2 weeks and then they will go back to normal.

NSMBWii effect will be more insidious as the effect will be on going and hard to quantity...

I don't think we will really know how much of a boost NSMBWii gives until sales go back to normal level post holydays.

Right now the consoles will enter the holydays with the PS3 slightly outselling the Wii by a few ks in average.

Lets see how they do toward the end of January and who has the edge..

Right now I still think the Wii will win the race sometime in March. The PS3 only hope is to stay close and drag this until GT5 release....

Okay, here at last is this week's update.  I've put off doing it because VGC numbers for PS3 are quite a bit off of MC, Famitsu and Dengeki and I decided to wait at least until I had a day off from work (i.e. today) in case there was an adjustment.  MC's numbers are closest (29,977) but this is still more than 5000 units above the VGC numbers.

Speaking of adjustments... In the Oct 10 update, I said that it was the first week that the Wii outsold PS3 since the start of the race.  With adjustments, VGC now shows PS3 with a tiny lead (64 units!) that week.  So this week is the first week that Wii has outsold PS3.  For now anyway...

Wii first.

lol, okay that makes sense. :)

It was a strong week for PS3 releases, even if both games are multiplatform.  Wii's only real standout was SRT Neo, and it looks kinda shitty compared to the main games.

My vote: PS3.
Reason: Final Fantasy XIII.
