For now...Nintendo is back on top (poll)

Well, the dreams that fanboys have been fasting for since the end of the 16 bit era have come true. Is it everything they always wanted? How long will it last?

Microsoft will re-take the 1st place with the boost in sales from Halo 3, but Nintendo will go back to the top place by the end of 2007.

These are just predictions, though. Nothing is set on stone yet.

Maybe the Wii's sales mean that soon we'll actually be getting Pikmin 3...

I don't think this is going to happen. Assuming Nintendo has about a 300k lead on MS right now and Nintendo selling about 600k units worldwide, MS would have to sell more than 900k in order to overtake Nintendo. Halo 3 drops on Sept 25th and that just isn't enough time to sell 1 million consoles. Nintendo should stay in the lead pretty firmly throughout this year.
