I think you misread Trestres, Wii had 12.1 million install base, 360 had 11.7 million install base, so their install bases were rather equal and yeah 360 sold more software and more hardware that week because of Halo 3, but like i've been pointint out, Halo 3 didn't generate momentum, its very frontloaded, so when its sales dropped off so did the 360's hardware and software sales
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
