all the topics about how the Wii Passed the 360 in sales about a month ago, I hope there are just as many topics about the 360 passing the wii back up rubbing it in sheeps faeces



halo 3 will EASILY put the 360 back in the lead (I mean the wii only had a lead of like 300k)



remeber it has only been a week since halo 3 has come out too






(also I think vgchartz have went into hiding out of fear, those nintendo fanboys)

No, the 360 will not pass the Wii again in worldwide numbers. The weekly numbers are a different story since any console that releases one of their best games will see a surge, but practically speaking, the 360 will not see the lead again for overall numbers.

Sales are an ignorant way to look at the console wars but system wars voted that complete anarchy is the system to which we must abide, so sales are just as good as great games.

i'm not suprised 360 sales spiked after halo 3's release but realize this is also only one week. wii sales will also spike when smg and ssbb come out so i wouldn't celebrate yet considering the wii has been outselling the 360 for months.

Yeah. Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, so on and so forth. Much more important franchises in terms of selling systems than any of the franchises you listed, besides GTA.

Didn't those fanboys say sales didn't matter? oh woops nice hypocrisy. Its obvious The 360 was outselling the Wii come Halo's release, the fanboys that said Halo 3 wouldn't be a console seller also said it would flop (shows you what they thought about the game itself).

The Wii will go back in sales once the Halo 3 madness calms down and titles like SSBB and SMG come out.

So in your mind, the Wii outselling the 360 every single week since launch WORLD WIDE is now irrelevant...because the 360 has outsold the Wii in the UK for one week?

What? I hope you are ashamed you made this thread.

wow 360 outsells wii one week and everyone jumps for joy. you all know itll go right back next week. plus the wii is already ahead of 360 in sales anyway, so what does this week matter. its like the psp selling better last week over the ds, it doesnt matter, the ds is still ahead by millions.

So what you are implying is that Halo 3 off sets the Wii outselling the 360 like 20 something to one correct? Wii sales cannot be stopped. They can only be momentarily halted. Just like the PSP did with Crisis Core to the DS.

The gap between Wii and 360 isn't a margin of millions( at least I don't think it is) since the 360 launched with the head start. The article makes it damn obvious the sales are clearly related to Halo 3.

20 something to 1?!?! Maybe in Japan, but in total it's a little over 2 to 1.

Okay.

The Xbox360has sold 11.45 million consoles (abouts)

The Wii has sold 12.03 million consoles (abouts)

Halo 3 did according to this sell about 2.5 million copies during it's first week. 1,25 million pre-orders and 1,25 bought first week. That is a new record.

However, it only pushed the 360s hardware sales up with 125 000. Which means that Halo has to keep going like this for MORE than 7 weeks to beat Wii. (Since Wiifrom before had higher sales.)

Is this possible? Yes, but very doubtfully.

This post ALMOST, but not quite, come up to the quality of

this looks great for Xbox360, right?

Maybe even better than this.
