Will the Wii be able to outsell the Hd consoles any week this holiday?

I am quite certain there will be a $50 price cut - maybe not officially but from a variety of retailers getting rid of the sku that doesn't have the new Wiimote.

Bur still, it is hard to say, so many factors:

- On the one hand, it's the holidays, traditionally Nintendo's strong season.

- On the other hand there will be a (heavily advertised) new kid on the block, Kinect, just in time for the holidays. And even in the case that Kinect won't work as advertised, people will realize this only after the holidays, so 360 Kinect bundles might make a killing during the holidays regardless of long term success. And while Wii might have Just Dance 2, Kinect will have Dance Central (and maybe Just Dance Kinect as well? I don't think Ubisoft promised anyone exclusivity after all?)

- Nintendo is finally getting a critical mass of new games again

- But GT5 is coming just in time for the holidays. A lot of pent up demand may cause an outburst of PS3 sales as well, just in time for the holidays.

So - hard to say. I would say that some weeks yes, some weeks no. Unless Kinect catches not only well, but really really well (which is very possible).
