The better question is that if/when the Wii sales catch up on a per-week basis, will the fight even be relevant? The X360 version has a 430,000 unit lead worldwide, and added another 37,000 onto it's lead vs. the Wii. If the Wii starts winning, how many months is going to take before it could regain the lead? Having said that, the X360 version has shed 76% of it's first week gross compared to 64% of the Wii. That's not impressive for either - especially given the Wii's monumenally higher install base. I'd say that the Wii version will trump the X360 version in 2 weeks by a small margin. But again, the better question is if it's going to matter....Kind of like the Madden race.

I think what people don't seem to understand is that Wii legs aren't necessarily great in the first few weeks but they stay consistent so thtat in the next 10 weeks they are good. However we can't ever underestimate Wii in the holiday season. I mean last year Wii software sales increased 10 fold which is amazing. Some games saw increases that were just awesome to say the least. What holiday season can do for some titles is give them more brand appeal causing sales afterwards to be good as well. Carnival Games trends are a testatment to this. So I have no idea if TFU will follow that kinda of trend but I do know alwasy look out for Wii games during the holiday season because this is when almost every Wii game gets the absolute boosts... more so than any other platform and especially in America. All that mainstream appeal pays off in the mainstream time of the year: holiday season.
And it's not platinum yet but will get it so congrats. Lucasarts made a good game so glad to see this happen.
