When will WII sales in Japan hit GC sales???

[*~Onna76~*]

The WII sales hasn't gone smoothly for the past 2 months in Japan and even the precious Super Mario Galaxy release couldn't boost hardware sales up to its old high galaxy level.

Still... one thing has made me realise when looking at the final sales figures from Japan... the WII is only 236.538 away from the Gamecube sales... "ever". This means, that the WII has almost accomplished to sell in about 1 year, what the Gamecube has sold over 6 years in Japan, when you think the Cube released in September 2001 and the WII on 2 December 2006 in Japan.

Question is and perhaps fun to start as a prediction, when will the WII sales hit the Gamecube sales in Japan. Before the end of 2008? Sooner, later? What do you reckon?
