Disappointing 360 sales -- I wonder if Elite had a negative impact on public perception? It's normal for sales to trend downwards from Jaunary->April, but I figured a new console model would stabilize 360 sales. MS needs a price drop if they want any hope of claiming USA from Wii.

PS3 is floundering -- below Gamecube levels at this point I believe (will check data later). What a fucking disaster. Sony really thought they could sell 5 million consoles without software (though I agree with them had they priced a $300 console).

Wii is showing a stronger presence due to increased supply -- I expect 400k/month to be normal until the holidays.

Edit:
My predictions from a week or so ago -

DS 500k
Wii 480k
PS2 230k
XB360 210k
PSP 190k
GBA 100k
PLAYSTATION 3 90k
Gamecube 15k
XB 0
