Halo 3 + GTAIV could be that miracle. I think the 360 will do quite well at the end of this year. However, if Nintendo releases all their big guns (and gets their production working), it might still not be enough.

Halo 3 and GTA IV will only delay the inevitable. A few months ago, I said the Wii would pass the 360 in sales in early 2008. I stand by that prediction. I think the 360 will slow down the Wii as Forza, Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, Halo 3, DMC4, GTA IV, Bioshock are coming out but once those are done with, I expect to see the Wii fly right on by.

 

why? Do you think the 360 will just stop releasing games?

This seems to be a common misconception around these forums, "when XYZ happens console A will take off" like the other companies are going to sit there and let it happen. 360 will keep plenty of releases going. 

The Wii will probably overtake the 360 in 2008, but that would be because of the Worldwide appeal of the Wii, when compared to the USA only appeal of the 360.
