I remember seeing some reports a few months back that said Wii might be losing its lead over the PS3 because sales had been trending 7-to-1, 6-to-1, down to 2-to-1 or below. But over the past few weeks, the trend has been increasing again and Wii is back at more than 5-to-1 over PS3, which is good to see.
DS over PSP at nearly 2-to-1 is cool too.
