I know it's only a matter of time until the wii catches the 360 in sales. But when predicting when it will happen you have to take into consideration that Microsoft is releasing their jacked up version of the 360 late April, the 360 Elite (120 gig hdd, hdmi port and hdmi cable, etc.) There should be a slight surge in 360 sales I would think from this. This is why I've held off getting a 360 so I'll definitely be picking one up. Obviously the wii sales are constrained only by supply or their numbers would be even more impressive. Nintendo needs to get more wii's on the shelves pronto because this level of demand will not last. If people cant find a system, especially after trying for many months, their patience will wear thin and they will seek an alternative in either the 360 or ps3.
I agree and disagree, the population is a difficult thing to predict. With all of Wii's good press and word of mouth, the demand might not fade but only grow more with the supply being out stripped. Basically the theory there is, if it's good, people will buy it. If it's bad.. it'll sit on shelves.
Now granted the supply, or lack there of, could hurt Wii but I doubt it as it doesn't seem to hurt the DS too much and Wii seems like it'll be much the same case.
As a side question, is there any confirmation on that new 360 cause last I checked there was no actual word of it.
