When will Wii surpass 360 (if ever)?

DIAR said: I for one hope the Wii will never take out the 360, I am hoping that it will slowdown this year and fall into 3rd. If the Wii wins that means a rollback in power and that whole motion thing next time...or to me the death of games as if that happens after 20 years being a gamer I am done and blame the big N for it! I pray the Wii dies a horrible painful death and the world wakes up to see how big a pile of crap it is! FYI, VG's numbers are wrong as even wikipedia doesn't back them up! The 360 is above 10 million and the wii should be below 4 or slightly above. The PS3 numbers are wrong too as they should be around 1.3 and 1.8.

Actuly Xbox360 is lower than 10 million but they have shipped (not sold) more than 10. Wikipedia is not a traking firm. Looking into NPD and we actuly have even lower numbers than vgcharts, so no you are wrong. I personally hope that Wii will sell better than GameCube at least, because most probarbly it will be my only machine. I can't say if the Wii number is to high ot to low, but what we know is: 1.1 milions in USA alone (until december), 1.5+ in Japan. Then we have another 700k in EU until december. Assuming ~500k in USA during januari and another ~200k in EU. Will get us to around 4 million so yes it might be a little high, but I don't know depends on nintendos shipments to EU. Might be more than 200k, mayby even what USA and Japan gets, but I doubt it. I personally have problem to see that the Wii will slow down before 10 millions by the simple fact that Nintendo have shown a good line up of hardcore nintendo fans line up, which will probarbly lead the sale in USA. In Japan is Wii sport leading to a lot of sales and Wii will probarbly sell more than GC. After that who knows... The PS3 numbers is around 1.8 so I dont know what you are talking about there.
