PS3's price drop got it 550k sales, the Wii's price drop only 340k. I'd say PS3 is on top, although not this week.

PS3 got a price drop and a redesign.

but the ps3 had a redesign, that´s why it got a bigger boost....so you could just imagine what a wii redesign would do to it´s sales.

The Wii is on top because of the price cut. Without it, I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 continued to beat it until December.

We'll see what sales are next week.

And? The PS3 was on the top because of the Slim. What does that matter? Both consoles will probably drop next week. Despite what many think, the PS3 isn't going to stay this high forever. Neither will the Wii, but there is a better chance for the Wii seeing that it already has the benefit this generation as a whole and the holiday season. Like you said though, we have to wait and see. I don't think we will have to only wait until next week though, we have to look towards the next month or so to see how they are holding up.

The PS3 was on top for 4 weeks because of the Slim. It hit 550k, then stabilised at ~230k, after selling in the realm of 90k a week. Let's see if the Wii price cut can have that much impact.

Of course it won't, but the Wii started from a much higher place overall. Even if the impact wasn't at the same size or scale, it still brought(and might still bring) the Wii toward first again. This is not even considering other factors.
