In the first week of the 2007 holiday shopping season, Nintendo of America has sold more Nintendo products than at any other time in its history. This includes more than 653,000 Nintendo DS™ portable video game systems, 350,000 Wii™ home systems and millions of games and accessories throughout the United States - and the season is just getting started.

Couldn't find a source besides Magicbox for the Sony numbers, but interestingly enough I did discover that PS2 sales were also 321,000 during the thanksgiving week in 2001, which was just over a year into the PS2 lifespan.

This pushes the Wii to 1 million sales for the first three weeks of November (300K and 350K for the first two weeks). Not sure how PS3 is doing overall, nor the Xbox 360 is doing at all. DS sales are through the roof.

Microsoft didn't release their numbers.

Microsoft announced they sold 310K during US Thanksgiving week.

I find it kinda odd that all three systems are selling in the same quantities this year.

The PS3 spike came as a result of a combination of a price drop and a shortage of Wii consoles available this holiday season. Essentially the Wii is going to be selling out until Christmas due to the high Ebay resale prices.
