Good achievemnet this week, but I dont ewxpect it to continue.

I think it is fairly obvious now that the Wii will never reach 50% market share (total install base).

How is it fairly obvious?

The gap is only 3.5 mil. When the Wii / HD consoles each are probably going to end up selling another 60 million more consoles or so, that isn't a very big number. Looking at the current situation doesn't tell us enough about what will happen in the consoles' later years, which is what really counts. This is what I mean:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 01st Jan 2006 to 24th Oct 2009:

Console XB GC PS2
Total
712,004
1,196,681
35,866,849

I'm not saying the Wii is going to pull something like this off, just pointing out that these things happen.

 

@disolitude:

It's all about taste. I have a PC, so the HD consoles aren't as appealing, and the Wii ends up getting my (console) attention.
