If the wii is still outselling the ps3 2-1 how on earth is the ps3 catching up? The sales gap between the two is growing at a slower rate, so the ps3 is still falling behind, but at a slower rate.

It's November 12th for the US, not "November 1" as int eh article.

In addition to John's comments, sales of the PS3 haven't actually increased either. The 'catching-up' is due to sales of the Wii slowing. I'd imagine Mario Galaxy would give it another huge boost.

Virtually everyone who wanted a Wii bought it already. You can't expect Wii's to keep selling at the same rate, while PS3's are getting interesting as more titles arrive and running linux speedily is an option.

Wii sales are falling as demand has out stripped supply and there are no more Wii's left to buy, hence a slight increase in PS3 sales. Bought Mario Galaxy today, can't wait to play...
