You did your research before you posted that comment?

Hay, maybe he did tons of research but didn't feel the need to post evidence

But srsly, it would take a miracle for the PS3 to reach its target before the Wii reaches its own.

Hell would freeze over before that happened.

It will be a two week time gap after tomorrow's update because PS3 would have had to sell 64,008 units this week to keep up with Wii's total from last week.  But that's not going to happen.

I think your confusion lies in the interpretation of the stat.  It's not saying how many weeks it will take for the PS3 to reach the Wii's current total, but rather the other way around:  how long ago the Wii reached the PS3's current total.  The other stat would undoubtedly be more useful, but I don't have a crystal ball  (or the time to map trajectories) so none of the data I'm providing is of a predictive nature.

Congratulations, in advance, to those who kept faith with the Wii. I really didn't see the price cut and NSMB doing the job, but it certainly did, and then some.

I always thought the Wii would handle it without trouble, though it definitely ended up much closer than I thought. The Wii only picked up with NSMB, and PS3 held up better outside the holidays. Good stuff.

Update for the week ending Jan 24:

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

 1) This week had the lowest PS3 hardware sales since the PS3 launch.  Also, it was the second time that PS3 sales dropped below 30k since the Slim launch.

Time lead: Wii (2 weeks)

Wii will get there first it seems, only 102,000 left till tarhet, with next numbers it should be roughly 65,000 left.

I wish this would be settled already.

Wii has roughly 70,000 to go, at 9.93 Million now I think.
