Total worldside sails of PS3 are just over 7 million, not the 10
million you claim in the subject line.

The price cut gave a short burst, and then sales fell back.  Here are
the weekly Japanese sales for Wii and PS3 for the last 8 weeks.

    Week Ending         PS3         Wii

    Oct 21              14856       28106
    Oct 28              17740       31407

    Nov 18              47011       35793

The PS3 price cut gave it a nice boost for the weeks ending Nov 11 and
18, and then the boost from that started rapidly falling.  Note that by
Nov 25, the general holiday pickup is happening, so that 55k for the PS3
is a mix of the fading boost from the price cut and the rising sales
from the holiday boost.  By the next week, it looks like the price cut
boost is gone, and it is just the holiday boost, leaving the PS3 back in
its customary space far far behind Wii.
