Ó
We've just reported recently that Sony's PS3 seems to be throttling upwards in a good streak, and it looks like the trend is becoming more and more consistent.According to Bloomberg, the PS3 is about to catch up with the Nintendo Wii's sales numbers: Wii is now outselling the PS3 at only three-to-one. That's a great jump from the previous six-to-one ratio a few months ago.
Japanese research firm Enterbrain has reported 245,653 Wii units sold compared to Sony PS3's sales number of 81,541 in a span of four weeks ending in August 26.
The streak also shows in the two gaming mogul's stocks in Japan's stock exchange: Nintendo's shares fell 1.7 percent to JPÂ¥ 52,000, while Sony gained 0.4 percent to JPÂ¥ 5,600.
Will Sony continue to fly high? Do check this space often to find out!

Maybe the PS2 generation is still taking them sweet time and waiting for the right time before upgrading to the PS3. If that happens, the PS3 has already won.

anyway 6 to 1 was just on 1 month so .. 3 to 1 is pretty much standard

This is the same kind of comment that I've heard from XBOX360 owners during the months predating the release of PS3 & Wii, stating how the 360 would always remain superior to the others.
Come on, everyone knows the summer is a fluke. Let's wait until Fall's end before we start making foolish comments regarding the PS3's rise.
(Don't get me wrong, I'm a PS3 owner and love to see these numbers, but let's not let this go to our heads. When we see 1 to 1 ratios, I'll be impressed. )

To make such a comment without looking at the sales figures is moronic.
We also know that Wii's are still in demand and that production has not been stepped up as originally planned. It should also be pointed out that it is believed that some of Japan's supplies were sent to the U.S. due to the overwhelming demand in the U.S. with a LARGER poplulation.

PS3 can withstand even the most overwheming overuse of it...which was already proven a week ago or so.
Unlike crappy xbot which you don't know when it's gonna break.
I bet everytime you turn that xbot on you are always holding ya breath and crossing ya fingers that it actually loads up instead of the red ring of death.

Go take a look first at the Software chart for the 360 in the USA
http://www.vgchartz.com/aweekly.php
Now look at the software total sales in 1 week for 360 there -
360 1,023,996 software sales
PS3 216,281 software sales
MS make more money from the USA software sales in 1 week than Sony have made in Japan since launch.
Now scroll down to hardware sales I dont even need to comment that the PS3 is bombing out now they are selling out of the $100 DROPPED TWO PS3 systems..... and is being well outsold by the 360 there
Oh and here is the sales for Europe

As you can see the 360 is by far outselling the PS3 and now is selling DOUBLE the amount of the PS3 in places like the UK now.
