Starting this month, we should see Wii cutting the 360's lead even faster... I think late July isn't yet out of the question, but that won't be clear until we've seen at least a month's worth of sales at the new production rate. What worries me is the holidays... Wii is going to sell out again, but 360 is going to have a lot more available stock. Will Nintendo get some sort of temporary contract going with someone to boost production only for the Q4 period? If they don't, Microsoft can easily take back the lead in December. |
I think Nintendo is aware of that holiday problem and they are probably already stockpiling. And if the wii keeps selling out they will up production once more before holiday i expect.
