Well kids, after nearly two months on top of in the middle of the charts, the Xbox 360 has been corralled into its previously assigned sales slot, also known as right smack-dab at the bottom. Through a miraculous confluence of events, most likely the release of several games aimed at Japanese audiences, the console had managed to outsell Sony's Playstation 3 on its home turf for weeks on end (once to the tune of over 10,000 units). We should note, of course, that the Wii, PSP and DS -- and even the PS2 at one point -- consistently topped the 360 during the same period. Alas, those heady days are behind us, and things are back to normal. A little more than normal, as even the hardy Playstation 2 managed to outsell the 360 during the week of October 27 - November 2. Also, the DSi, not unexpectedly, exploded onto the sales charts. Finally, the PS3, seemingly fueled by an Edmond Dantès-like sense of vengeance, boosted its sales by over 900%. Yow.

- DSi: 171,925 [New Entry!]
- PSP: 50,358 10,109 (16.72%)
- PS3: 39,587 35,656 (907.05%)
- Wii: 23,123 1,169 (4.81%)
- DS Lite: 16,369 6,596 (28.72%)
- PS2: 6,714 248 (3.56%)
- Xbox 360: 6,119 1,725 (21.99%)
