While it sounds like good news for Nintendo, PSP still bested the console by 1,020 units. Considering the small gap between the two, it’s likely Wii will take the lead next week.

PS3 sales were down by 2,410 units this week, but still strong enough to maintain its third-place position for four or so weeks in a row. Xbox 360, interestingly enough, saw neither growth nor decline for the week as it sold the same amount both weeks.

Combined SKUs for DS hit the 34,457 mark, with DSi LL leading the group. Lifetime to date, the current DS line-up is at 15,923,471 in Japan.

Japanese hardware, January 4- November 14, 2010 (combined SKUs):

1. DS – 2,133,999
2. PSP – 1,789,818
3. PS3 – 1,214,417
4. Wii – 1,161,052
5. Xbox 360 – 180,209
6. PS2 – 72,566

Japanese hardware, November 8-14  (combined SKUs):

1. PSP – 43,055
2. Wii – 39,308
3. DS – 34,457
4. PS3 – 21,114
5. Xbox 360 – 2,686

Dead Money will be released on 21st December exclusively on Xbox Live for 800 MS Points.

In Dead Money, you’re the victim of a raw deal, and must work alongside three other captured wastelanders to recover the legendary treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino.

“We’re pleased to give fans a chance to expand their experience in Fallout: New Vegas this December with Dead Money,” said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks.

“The release of Dead Money illustrates our commitment to creating entertaining add-on content for players to enjoy in already massive games like Fallout: New Vegas.”

Gregarious Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime told Kotaku there were no plans to launch a ‘Wii 2′ next Christmas.

“As we sit here today we’re saying the Wii has many, many more units to sell,” he explained.

“After we’ve reached an installed base of 45 million here in the US, we can have a conversation about the next generation.”

Earlier this week Reggie revealed that Nintendo’s white wonderbox has moved around 30 million units in the Land of the Free so far, so we’re a way off yet.

Clearly, if you want a new console from Nintendo you’re going to have convince your American chums to open their wallets. Go on, off you go.

The spike was confirmed this afternoon by sales monitor Chart-Track, a spokesperson stating that, while specific figures could not be revealed, it was “more than a fair reflection” to say the figure was double that of the previous week.

The boost is understood to have widened substantially the gap between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with Sony’s biggest hope for a pre-Christmas surge coming next week with the release of the long-delayed Gran Turismo 5.

A senior publishing source added: “360 doubled last week and it was already selling a lot. Wii and PS3 have been beaten by 360 consistently over the past few months.

“Wii is still outselling PS3 – the numbers are going the wrong way for Nintendo year-on-year but it’s certainly not a disaster.”

Kinect went on sale last week both separately and as part of official hardware bundles, the latter likely to be responsible for the jump in numbers.

Microsoft revealed yesterday that over one million units of Kinect has sold worldwide in the ten days following its 4th November US launch.

The US giant reckons it’s on track to sell five million units by Christmas.

“Why wont this question die?” the carnivorous developer asked. “We have answered it publicly at least 15 times but it just never ends.”

“We can’t EVER do a PS3 version of Super Meat Boy because when we were going into negotiations with publishers, Sony was the only one that didn’t express much interest in the game. We assumed this meant they didn’t want the game, and [we] decided to sign with Nintendo and Microsoft.

“Our contracts excluded any release on PS3,” the post added. “We would have loved to do a PS3 version, but its not at all possible whatsoever now, so please stop asking about it.”

But a PC version of the super-hard, super-retro, super-fantastic timed platform game is very much part of the plan. “Our goal is to release the PC version on Steam by the last week of Nov,” Team Meat explained.

PC fans can look forward to exclusive unlockable secret characters in their version of the hit game. There will be six in total, including Captain Viridian from indie smash VVVVVV. A clue to those remaining reads: “One of them sticks, one of them dashes, one of them changes form and one of them isn’t organic.”

These characters aren’t going to make their way to the Xbox Live Arcade game – “No, never.”

The PC audience also gets a level editor. The planned release for this is “sometime in December”. “The initial release will be a bit rough,” warned Team Meat, “but as time passes we will take in your suggestions and fine-tune the editor and level portal into a super smooth piece of awesomeness that will keep the community going for years.”

It’ll also be “100 per cent free”.

Xbox Live Arcade fans can look forward to a beefy title update coming their way on – tentatively – 21st November.

Under the chapter heading “The Sewers of Dross”, 20 new levels stuffed. They range from medium difficulty to “soul crushing” and revolved around character Gish and his sticky abilities.

“This update will fix all known bugs, erase all 0.0 times from the leaderboards and come with a totally new music track by Danny called Dr. Fetus’s Castle,” the blog explained.

The Sewers of Dross will be one of three new chapters released on XBLA this year.

Super Meat Boy arrived in mid-October on Xbox Live Arcade. Like the fantastic Trials HD before it, the hook comes from completing levels as fast as you can.
