Differences:

360: +324 (+4.6%)
PS3: -1109 (-5.25%)

I don't think you can yell "oh! PS3 is losing steam and 360 is gaining!" from these numbers... 5% differences are not that significant.

Nintendo looks like they're in big trouble, though.
GBA: -60 (-63.83%)
lol

Yeah but from my understanding both PS3 and 360's are availble in Japan on shelves so it could perhaps be showing the start of a trend, dunno, far to early to say but it is interesting.

Wii just shows they shipped/got to store 2,641 less than last week unless they are sitting on shelves there now ?

I may be wrong, but isn't the Wii easier to obtain outside the US? If you go to Amazon's Japanese & European sites, they seem to be in stock regularly. I can't read it but I see the button that looks like "add to cart." It's been awhile since I checked, though.

Still not in stock in on Amazon in the UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_...d-keywords=wii

Unless you want to pay an extra £130 for it.

Well that one I can read . I meant for the German, Russian, etc sites. But like I said, it was awhile ago that I checked but I'm fairly certain the buttons up were the add to cart & 1 click since they were set up the same way the US site is when an item is in stock. Considering the Wii on the US site has never been available for longer than 30 min, which was an unannounced release, and has been soldout within a minute on announced release days, it'd be quite the coincidence that I happened upon these sites when they just happened to be in stock if they're normally out.

The German Amazon site has them in stock. Wonder why they don't transfer them the the UK one? (and change the language) Some UK sellers are saying up to 12 weeks delivery.
