New software groups:
Rhythm Tengoku Gold gets a fast start compared to its predecessor.
Soul Calibur The IVs are the one-week lines that aren't the smallest (which is II Xbox).
Other stuff:
Dragon Quest V DS's total remains lower than PS2's, but its third week number is ever so slightly higher. Better legs? They'd have to be significantly better to get far in catching up with the PS2 version's lead, though.
Fatal Frame IV's debut puts it way in the... middle.
Based on the latest Media Create numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 55.0 / 45.0, DS's strongest since the first week of the year. This brings total shares to 69.5 / 30.5. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 202.0 weeks (July 2, 2012).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 17.7 / 82.3, Wii's strongest since two weeks before MGS4. This brings total shares to 25.6 / 74.4. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 381.3 weeks (December 9, 2015).
On week 33 of the year Wii passes 2 million. It did this last year on week 27.
DS also passes 2 million on week 33. It did this last year on week 14.
This was a holiday week in Japan, so almost everything was up by varying degrees. The exception: Xbox 360 returning to Earth from its Vesperia leap.

I love these posts JJ, especially the specific software trends for games in a series. It really helps to make/keep realistic expectations.
Eventually, you could start producing them for games that are about to launch for predictive purposes.
