It *can't* happen before July. Even assuming the current VGChartz numbers don't include any of May (which they do), Wii has an absolute maximum of 2.5 million units before July starts (given 1.2 million/month production, and allowing for 100K of fudge room). Assuming Microsoft sells *no* units, and *everything* goes *completely* in Nintendo's favor, they're still about 100K units shy of MS. Now, factor in reality and the fact that the 360 will likely reach 10 million before the start of July, and you have Nintendo probably half a million shy of Microsoft as of July 1st. Which is well within grasping range for the month of July when you consider that Japan alone will probably just about close that gap in a month.
