What? You are probably talking about sales compared to last week sales or something. All of the consoles gained sales except 360 which fell a bit from about 7000 to 4800.

Feb 5th to 11th
Virtual Fighter released not really done much to shift more PS3s like expected though.
Wii - 78,550
PSP - 32,175
PS3 - 23,431
Xbox 360: 4,811
Xbox has just gone back to its average weekly sales again after Lost Planet/Blue Dragon sold consoles expect the PS3 sales to also drop again next chart now that virtual fighter has been released.
The Wii just seems to be squashing the other Two consoles and must be causing serious damage to the PS3 sales, it seems to have no effect at all on the 360 which sales have remained the same in comparison to before and after the Wii release.

Basically PS3 has gained sales and 360 has lost sales but is already far behind in Japan anyway, Wii continues to dominate at it's price point...

The biggest loser here is looking to be the PS3 as the 360 was never in any other position than it is now, and as it says above -
360 sales have remained the same in comparison to before and after the Wii release.

That's really only 4 days (or less)
I'd expect PS3 sales to stay relatively elevated for a couple more weeks.
The wii is not a nex gen console. Most people who own a wii will end up owning a PS3 or 360 too. Those that don't woudn't have gotten a PS3/360 in the first place.

If japan isn't buying the ps3s as expected what makes you think europe and america will/is?

A driving game with no shock + No Way
A fighting game with no impact + No Way
ETC ETC
It is an incredible amount cheaper to buy the PS3 in Japan than it is for Europe and they arnt buying in droves so what makes you think Europe will buy it at a more expensive price?.
The PS3 hasnt just got the 360 to worry about it has got the much bigger threat of the Wii which is going to also be available in Europe at the same time.

The future of blu-ray?
Let's take a look at Sony's previous formats: betamax, mini-disc, UMD... they all failed.

And guess what? Sony f*cked up their home-conlose exactly the same way as they did their portable.

"Overall I think the loser here is PS3"

anywho Deep trouble.. come on dont be a fanboy (seems to be alot of ms ones) I like sony but I accept the truth.... Bluray is outselling hd dvd by an alarming rate, almost larger than ps3 is outselling 360... its gonna survive.
Also just play games, who cares about what system is on top so early (or ever) IMO this is a "classic" super nintendo vs sega genesis battle.. And I see both platforms at least lasting 5 years.. sad MS dropped support for the original xbox so early.. ps2 came out and Im still playing these games gow 2 (future soo soon), ff12...
Be happy your fortunate to be able to play a next gen system let alone hd tv and surround sound... I plan on getting a 360 when they drop in price, and if theres any exclusives I may want to play, right now ps3 is good enough for me.. if i was richer, id have both right now (and had more time to play lol)
BTW the Wii is like the gameboy, regardless of if you have a 360 or a ps3, your gonna have a Wii later (id buy it just for wii bowling on wii sports).
