When will Wii surpass 360 (if ever)?

ranzchic said: Yup, they overshipped to pad the whole "10,000,000 units shipped!!!" forecast. At 10 million units sold, they barely reached the 9 million level, what makes you think that they will sell through 12 million easilly during one of the slowest times of the year when they couldn't even get rid of their surplus over the holidays?

The fact that they have averaged 600,000 units a month thus far and there are more games available than before.

The Wii has been selling(not shipped) at least 500k units per month in Japan alone(granted were still in the launch window). I also believe that it has succesfully differentiated itself from the competition. Price cuts for both the PS3 and the 360 will not really affect the Wii demand just because Nintendo's focus right now is userbase building via the non-gamers/casual gamer market whereas the 360 is focused on the limited hardcore audience. In short, the mainstream audience has spoken and they see the value in paying $250 for the novelty of experiencing the gimmicky waggle over paying $300++ for the other intimidating machines.

This has nothing to do with my argument that XBOX 360 will sustain its sales lead through the end of the year. Price cuts for PS3 and XBOX 360 will affect the demand for PS3 and XBOX 360. What exactly is your point. I never said that Wii will fail, just that it won't surpass XBOX 360 in the year 2007.

Kwaad said: Can Nintendo seroiusly double their production... now? I read they are ramping up production soon into the 1million+. So that would be march-ish. before Nintendo is cranking ~1.05million/month. I wouldnt think Nintendo would get more factories online for 3-6 months. Wich would then put production at 1.4million/month. I dont see nintendo doing more than 14million.

Sound logic at first.... but then ....

I do see Sony hitting 14million tho.

Kwaad you are completely useless.
