Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii is on track to surpass the Game Cube this month

Blip on 01 January 2008

My apologies if this topic has been brought up, but I have noticed that at the current rate the Wii will surpass the Game Cube in total sales within the next two or three weeks.  It has already passed it by in Japan and has what, around 4 million to go to pass it in the US.  Any predictions on these:

Passing GC total:

I say in two weeks 

Passing GC in the US: 

Third week in March

poor gamecube.....

It won't pass it in two weeks, it needs nearly 2 million in sales.(after Japan)
I think it will be 4 weeks, but it may do it in the 3rd week [I am not including the week just being posted (29th)]

Pretty incredible turnaround.

Wwo , thats impressive ... it needed only 15 month to pass the GCs 72 month sale ... now thats fast :o

 Dec is 5 weeks and Jan is 4 weeks.  Wii can pass GC once all of the Jan sales are counted.  The last week of Jan sales- Jan 4 week, end it Feb.

It was only a matter of time before the purple lunchbox fell before the might of the Wii!

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.

Yeah, poor GameCube. It was my favorite console last gen.

What are you on about? NPD? We are talking VGC here, which is obvious because it's worldwide. I meant 4 weeks as in Weeks ending 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th January.... So Wii should pass GC lifetime sales by 26th Jan... but could do it the week before.
