Wii sales are going crazy, beating 360 less than a year. i like to see what microsoft does after wii beats 360.

Yeah, I'll trust a random graph!:roll:

P.S. PC is outselling everything else by like 100,000 to 1.

It could happen as soon as August. By March of next year it is all but inevitable. Xbox 360 is not performing especially well outside of North America and the UK.Iyethar

I think they are under estimating the power of Halo 3 and GTA: IV on the 360. ;)

I don't know about that.  I can see 360 outperforming Wii in North America during the holiday, but I don't think it will be enough to offset performance in other regions and retake the global lead, even temporarily.  A lot depends on continued demand for the Wii and Nintendo's capacity to supply them, but the Xbox would need something like a 30% increase in year-on-year sales to keep pace globally.

It could happen, but only if Wii starts performing below expectations and Xbox starts exceeding them.

The main reason I think the 360 can do that is because they don't have the supply issues that Nintendo does. They can produce enough units to sell for this holiday season and that should be enough to retake the lead. Last holiday season they sold about 1.5-2 million in the US alone. Those types of numbers might be enough to snatch the lead away momentarily.Zhengi

Like I said, it's possible.  On the other hand, Nintendo's supply issue is really a demand issue.  Nintendo has shipped more Wii consoles in its first six months than any other home console in history.
