VGChartz Hardware data for the period 07th Jan 2007 to 28th Oct 2007:
| Console | Wii | PS3 | X360 |
Total | 10,318,498 | 4,227,399 | 4,837,653 |
The difference in the first 10 months was 1,253,446. PS3 and X360 made up some ground with holiday sales. Wii was largely supply constrained in 2007, but in 2008 there will be 300-800k more units produced per month(or more if production is being ramped up again). If demand is there, this would mean an extra 5M or so units sold over the first 10 months of 2008. This would result in a gain of ~6.25M units and the difference at this point is 5.57M. There's a good chance that PS3 and/or X360 sales will grow from 2007 though, so Wii probably won't make it in 2008. Depending on how things go this year it'll either have a good shot at doing it in 2009 or it won't ever do it.
