360 had 41 million sellers in 31 months.
Wii had 25 million sellers in 19 months.

Overall 360 has had 1.3225806451612903225806451612903 million sellers per month.

Overall Wii has had 1.3157894736842105263157894736842 million sellers per month.

This gives the 360 a microscopic lead.

However, this is because the 360 had a larger userbase for 21 of its months and a smaller userbase for the last 10 months.

The fact that they are both churning out the same number of million sellers per month on average at this point means 360's only advantage was its head start. The Wii is gobbling up software market share faster than all hell, and it will have way more million sellers by the end of this generation. It'll be like the DS or PS2.

 Quoting this because I like the approach. Currently the 360 and Wii have both fallen in terms of how many million sellers they have per month, but that is because we are coming out of the summer months and dry season. Currently the numbers are 1.265 million sellers per month for the 360 (43/34), and 1.273 million sellers per month for the Wii (28/22). The PS3 currently has 0.727 million sellers per month (16/22), but it also suffers from a late European launch and a really rough first year. It will be interesting to revisit these numbers after the holidays.

I also like this aproach and your update to those original numbers.

 

This is a logical approach that shows buying trends which is a better metric than just "I think X console because I like the games more."
