Its about quality. People are learning that the 360 Arcade has the old processor chipsets, which were prone to overheating. Its sort of Microsoft's "fire sale", no pun intended.
The Wii on the other hand, has few if any hardware issues, and a lot of the general population only looks to get games/systems around the holidays. With Wii Fit, Mario Kart, SSBB and others available for this year, it gives those people games they really would like to try.
Also, the other part is that the Wii is in stock, as opposed to last holiday season. These people might not have been looking pre-holiday season, and are now able to fulfill the requests for Wii systems.
Most people who want 360 systems want Elite versions and won't settle for arcade versions, which are still more expensive than the Wii. |
I wasn't even aware of this and i own a 360 and visit VGChartz everyday. How is the average person going to know that? And even if the Pro was cheaper than Wii, 360 would still get outsold by a wide margin so that is clearly not the reason.

Maybe it's because of the momentum of the Wii, or because with the economy people are not really going to buy hi def tv's if they don't have...
