I never thought I would see the 360 outselling the Wii in late October. I figured it would have a good two-week run with Halo 3 but the console just keeps on truckin'.


So, is this a trend? Will it last and for how long? When will the Wii reclaim the console crown?

Personally, I think it is a trend. I think that BioShock, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Splinter Cell, and others will drive NA 360 sales through spring until GTA IV hits (when I think we'll see another price cut). Overall, I think things look very good for the 360. I think the 360 can run neck-and-neck with the Wii until at least the end of the year, mainly based on Nintendo's overall supply problems because they are so strong in every market while Microsoft can focus mainly on the North American market for its console deliveries. If MS is lucky with the Arcade, it might even be able to run with the Wii until the end of February or so.

What do you guys think? Trend, Halo, or both? Will it last? When will the Wii retake the crown?
