The Wii has probably had the most successful launch of all time in terms of hardware #'s, especially considering it's a first worldwide launch for Nintendo as well. Will the Wii surpass the 360's worldwide userbase by the end of '07? The analysts predict a neck-and-neck race in North America with the Wii likely selling a bit more in Europe and alot more in Asia.
But will the difference in Asia be enough to essentially overcome the 1 year head start of the 360?? Will a 360 price cut and some big software releases bring more momentum to its side? Will the 360 hold the lead until the middle or the end of '08, whereby the Wii's lead in Japan would offset any 360 leads elsewhere?
What do you guys think? This is turning out to be one *very* interesting generation.
I think people have remember that the 360 IS more expensive than the Wii and even if the Wii was to sell the exact same amount of consoles as the 360 on any given time period, it'll still be behind the 360 in monutery figures. What I'm trying to say is, it's simple math. The wii has to sell about 16000 units to compete with Microsoft selling 10000 units, to compete with MS selling 20000 units the Wii would have to sell 32000 units etc etc. So until such an instance occures, it's really short sighted for anyone to think that the wii can match units sells 1 for 1. That's just not reality. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
