Are you also still claiming that the Wii will pass 360 in NA as well within July? That was the really crazy prediction. :P

Yeah that one was pretty out there. The Wii is poised to take the lead WW this summer, but I don't see how it's going to catch up in NA. NA is the one region where the 360 is doing very well!

I guess you guys will just have to wait and see. These past 5 months Wii's been basically selling off of its initial launch lineup. They haven't even warmed up yet. You have not seen a dadgum thing on how Wii will sell. This thing's just getting started.

And that "Wii beats 360 in Americas region (not simply North America) within July" premonition wasn't my "crazy" one.

THIS one was.

And it's coming true too. But you don't have to believe me now. In fact I'd rather you not. More fun that way. I like to witness people's discovery as the picture comes together.

Well, according to this site, the Wii was at 2.1m at the end of Feb, and the 360 was at 5.7m.  So to meet your prediction, the Wii needs to catch up by 3.6m units during March, April, May, June, and July.  So it has to average selling over 700,000 more units per month in the Americas than the 360.  I suspect when the March numbers are revealed this week, the difference will be nowhere near the 700,000 mark, making it that much harder to catch up in the remaining 4 months.

I'm glad the Wii is doing so well, and I expect it to continue doing well.  But these kinds of numbers just aren't going to happen.
