While I don't think 60% will necessarily happen, what you said doesn't prove that it won't happen. A lot depends on the relative lifetimes of the three consoles.

If the Wii outlives the PS3 and 360's lifetime, it will effectively be selling at 100% market share for a while (since we're talking about PS360Wii market share only). IMO it all depends on whether this happens and for how long it stays that way.
