Wii sales asymptotic limit over 53%

All he's really saying is that the Wii is currently selling over 53% of all consoles and if this continues, it would eventually reach about 53% total sales.

However, the holiday season is not the time to perform such an analysis as sales of all consoles are not ordinary at all. And it doesn't make sense to look at the short term (ie: a week) especially when weekly sales at VGC could easily be 10% off.

Let's look at the numbers during the 'dead' part of the year while Wii production is still very high -- the Wii could very easily be getting 60% of the total sales world wide in February, for example, if Nintendo lets the supply out.

To reach 50%, the Wii literally needs to outsell the 360 and PS3 combined by 2.78 million. 

50% = Wii - (Xbox 360 + PS3) +2.78

Gotcha. Thanks.

And I don't really buy the original argument, but c'est la vie.
