| KBG29 said: I don't know if everyone has noticed, but the PS3 and 360 are slowly starting to overtake the Wii in the US. The last 2 weeks in a row the 2 of them have outsold the Wii. Back in the PS2's hay day the Xbox and Cube were not doing that. Their was only a brief period when MS dropped the price, and one point when Sony had a cross over problem for fat to slimline. I think we will see the PS3 and 360 each outselling the Wii in the US by the end of next year. |
As trends go that might mean something only if the Wii wasn't already selling at maximum capacity. We really have no idea what the true demand of the Wii is - only that Nintendo hasn't yet met it. But we can be sure that, at least in the short term, Wii sales are limited by production rates, and those rates are increasing, while neither MS nor Sony have yet any need to increase their output as it still exceeds demand by a good margin.
