even then I wouldn't write off the games sales as being so low just because it's a low shipment number. FF games are frontloaded as we all know but they also ship a lot at launch. I wouldn't expect FFXIII to die as fast if the first shipment was only 1.3 million.

Used game sales would pretty much ensure it.  That's why it's good it's getting a bigger upfront shipment.

- FFXIII likely to drive about 100k PS3s next week and sell around 1.2-1.3m before dropping off fast - check

Not checked. FFXIII is more like 1.5-1.8 miilion and PS3 hardware is more like 220-250k (I guess).

200k seems like an agreed number. So we are gonna witness PS3's biggest ever week in Japan... EVERYBODY SCREAM!

Weekly update time:

Please check newbie's thread for week-to-week tracking of the ioi vs. ZorroX projection contest:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=88468&page=1

1) Last weeks numbers had very small upwards adjustments for both consoles.

2) PS3 is still leading by 29.7k according to VGC, but Enterbrain released numbers this week that put Wii ahead by 27.4k.

3) This week's Wii sales put it in the range of the top 3 weeks from 2008 -- but one week earlier than the spike normally happens.  Possibly 200k+ weeks upcoming.

Without the bundles he is probably spot on, but including them he'll end up a bit low.

PS3 lead got quite thin, but it still resists, we must see HW sales for FFXIII week and Xmas week, but if PS3 manages to beat Wii these 2 weeks, considering that after them Mario could give Wii longer legs, a tie wouldn't be unlikely.
