i dont think it will. i do think that the 360 will outsell ps2 sales in america. 360 is extremely popular in america. it sounds abit ambitious but i think its achieveable.

 

That's an ambitious prediction, almost a John Lucas. 360 should have just over 10 million before 2008 starts... That is just over 2 years for 10 million... So to get to 50 mil would be incredible. 'Tizney gonna happen I dunt think.

The reason I think John Lucas' predictions might make more sense than that one is because Xbox 360 demand is, more or less, a known quantity.  It's much less than the PS2 was.  Whereas with the Wii, we have no clue how high the stratosphere is, we just know that retail employees in some places get hundreds of requests per day for a system that's already shipping at very, very high levels (higher than the 360 ever did, that's for sure).
