The new Xbox 360 Slim has been outselling both the PS3 and Wii since its arrival. Now, with the ultra combo of both Kinect and Halo Reach, how long will it take to eventually overtake the Wii's top spot?

Never? For the 360 to do that:

  • MS drops the price to $100 of the 250GB version

OR

  • Nintendo unveils a new console and the 360 sells at this rate for YEARS....

Wii is coming to the end of its lifecycle and is slowing down. It will get a price cut after Christmas I think, and there will likely be a successor announced either at E3 or TGS next year to go on sale late '11 / early '12.

Kinect has probably added a year or two to the 360's life (lets not forget it had a one year head start!) and probably won't be replaced until 2013 or so?

Even allowing for the fact the 360 came out a year before the Wii, and will probably be Microsoft's main system for a year after the Wii is replaced, I still don't see the 360 catching the Wii.

Won't happen, unless the Wii starts seeing huge decline - and the 360 sells at the same rate and higher constantly. Which is...highly unlikely.

The only way that would happen is if they sold the 360 for like, 20 bucks.

It gets harder to sell them once so many families have one.

How long do you think the sales increase is going to last? It won't happen.

Impossible feat is impossible. 360 with all it's merits and Kinectimals will never outdo the Wii in sales. The PSP on the other hand...
