I think 360 may be poised to do 3 million in NA in the Xmas quarter, especially if GTA4 comes out in October. While I think if Nintendo delivers, say, Mario in October, Health Pack directly opposite the Halo launch in November, Smash Bros in the first week of December, Tiger Woods 08 in the holiday time frame, and other potential megahits like DDR or Guitar Hero in the time frame as well, I think they could EASILY top the demand, I don't know if they can deliver the units. Nintendo will be dealing with WW demand, probably with continued production ramp ups, and this after having a hard time keeping up with demand at least through the spring. Microsoft won't have those issues, and might be able to deliver more units, and beat Wii during the holiday in NA... So when Wii catches 360 in NA is an interesting question... I think its inevitable, but I doubt its happening in 2007... WW... Still in the holidays... Wii will outperform 360 by a lot in Europe and by tons and tons in Japan... Love the avatar, johnlucas.
