Worldwide Wii sales are now only 4 million behind Xbox360 - closing the gap

Stromprophet said: But I'd say at most it may outpace the 360 by 400k, which would put us about 10 months from now. However, if Halo comes out in the fall all bets are off and 360 might win the Holidays in the US.

Super Mario Galaxy alone will not let Halo 3 make 360 the Holiday season winner. XBox 360 WILL have an impressive showing this year no doubt but to say holiday winner? I don't think so. Only if Super Mario Galaxy is pushed back to 2008 can Halo 3 put XBox 360 ahead. But somehow I just don't see that happening. I think they will keep their word on this release date for once. Then again maybe SMG may be supplanted by Super Smash Bros. Brawl which if released in its place may do similar if not more damage to the competition. We gotta see how Nintendo delivers that online play experience. If it's as well-executed as I'm thinking it will be, throw in the towel right now it's over. That ain't counting the supporting cast of Wii titles that'll move that system. Guitar Hero II will be a system mover for 360 alone and that's coming in a few weeks. The supporters of the Wii60 regime will be very happy regardless of what happens either way. The PS3 faithful will be the ones having to worry if these other systems start layin' the smack down like they're seeming to be able to do. Oh don't forget Metroid Prime 3 in June. Good God! Will summer droughts be a thing of the past now? John Lucas
