Kwaad said: Basically my thoughts. However becuase when Halo3 comes out I expect the 360 to start outselling the Wii, and then holidays, the 360 will also outsell the Wii. (simple fact, the 360 has millions in extra stock, the wii has none, so when demand increase, 360 sales increase... Wii sales dont) That's why I agree the Wii might pass the 360 in august/october. However november I think the 360 will sell more, and I think the 360 will be ahead of the Wii in december. |
I am not so sure. The DS was really hard to find all throughout 2006. Sold out most of the time. The Wii seems to be in this same boat. Yet the DS sales definately increased in November and December. Nintendo was able to shift more units to retail during those months. Plus, Nintendo's current increase in production was solely form their current manufacturer. They have stated that they are looking at other manufactures to use as well. So I would bet that within the next 2 months we will see atleast one other manufacturer add on board and another 500k+ units being shipped per month be October. Probably in the 2m/month range. So, by the time the holidays hit Nintendo will be able to put just as many units on the shelves as the 360. Also, just as halo 3 will be big for 360 so will Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Smash Bros. I bet two of these three games will release after October. One probably in August.
