Both HD systems have been butt raped by the Wii since launch. Suddenly the tables almost turned upside down this year, but like I said, in 2010 the Wii sold more and I bet with you that no console will surpass it this year. Neither the next.
Its all about timing with price cuts and compelling software.
Let's wait for the numbers and stop "spamming". We're derailing the thread a little, we shall move to a random "Wii is doomed" thread to discuss this.

Wouldn't take that bet, already said Wii will win this year. You havn't come up with any reasons as to why Wii will be ahead next year. HD consoles will be ahead by at least mid 2011, and they'll both have a good xmas season. Whilst it'll only get worse for the Wii ... sub 80k weeks are coming.

I'm sorry if I didn't made that clear to you. My reasons are:
- price cut (I don't know if the PS3 or 360 can have some price cut too without falling into losses again)
360 hasn't had it's baseline console cut since 2008, now it has a slim model, by the time we get to Sep 2011 it'll be 3 years since it's last price cut, you don't think they can afford one? Depsite posting higher profits recently than Nintendo (despite selling ALL that SW an the DS?) PS3 .. since when were PS3 price cuts determined by profit? you know what Sony is like just as much as I do. Let me remind you, PS3 and Wii had a price cut last year, 360 didn't.
- Games: We are yet to zee Selda, Pikmin and Wii Relax or whatever they call to the Vitality Sensor. Nintendo can crap out 10, 15 and 20M sellers like anyone else can, so in this front no one can judge nothing.
Zelda? Isn't the highest one 5 million? As the years go on SW has less and less impact, you can't surely think Wii is going to have some massive HW booster game every christmas do you?
- Redesign: Although this one might not happen. It did wonders for the 360 and PS3 though, but its not entirely possible.
Could do, doubt it though. That and apart from graphical updates what can they add? If it's just a new box it's not going to sell like gangbusters. PS3 slim is selling so well because of the price cut, not the actual redesign (it's ugly and cheaper compared to the phat PS3, and actually removes from previous models) 360 Slim added wifi, small HW (something that wouldn't remotely benefit Wii), better reliability and quieter.
The ultimate reason: It is the market leader console and the one that pioneered and made motion controls happen on the other consoles. People know about it. It will only sell.
Not really helped it over the last 4 months has it? Just saying "it'll outsell them because it can isn't a reason.
My ultimattesterest reason: Ask TheSource if the Wii will be outsold by any HD console next year. He shall explain it way better than anyone else.
Fair play to him but I take anything source says with a grain of salt, he's often more times wrong and heavily favours wii.
