The Wii has shown convincingly that it is outselling other consoles during "dry periods". I can't see it get beaten in any of these, and I definitely can't see it get beaten by the 360... ever.
At the moment, the Wii is selling around 250k-300k / month in Japan - with the 360 (on average) selling 10-20k.
If this doesn't change, that is a LOT of ground for the 360 to make up in other markets.
PS3 has a much better chance. If they drop the price, and release a couple of big games at the same time (i.e. MGS or FF), it could match or beat the Wii in Japan. Then if it can beat it (even slightly) in Europe, then it has a chance by matching it in the US.
Slim, but I think that is the only chance. If Nintendo can pick up the manufacturing pace in the next couple of months - it will never happen.
