The Xbox360 was out there a year before the Wii and PS360 will sure be 1-3 years longer on the market without a successor. Could happen that the Xbox360 outsell Wii in US and PS3 outsell Wii in EU. 

But only if PS4 and XBox8 arrive late in 2014. But even if this happen it is unlikely. The Wii sales had a slowdown after Wii U was announced. If PS4 & Xbox8 gets announced the sales of it PS360 will slow down too.

I think the PS360 will already slow down this christmas, because of Wii U. And the Wii sales will rise again a little bit this Christmas, like every christmas.

So it is very unlikely that Wii get outsold in US or EU.

what!? lol

The 360 and PS3 will slow down due to WiiU, but the Wii will increase?  Thats some very odd logic you have there.

Think it over. The audience that is still interested in the old Wii is surely not interested in PS360. But the audience interested in Wii U has much in common with potential PS360 buyers.

No, I think you have that completely wrong.

The WiU audience is not the same audience as first time adopters of the 360/PS3.  Thats a ridiculous notion.  We are talkign about early adopters/gaming enthusiasts and Nintendo hardcore fans for the WiiU versus late comers looking for a bargain for the 360 and PS3.

I don't think of first adopters of PS360, but people who are interested to buy a new console, some of these will buy a Wii U instead of PS360. So the PS360 sales this christmas will surely much lower as they would be without Wii U.

And even some of the first adopters of PS360 will likely think about buying Wii U, because this are gamers who like to buy a new hardware. Sure some of them are "fanboys" who only buy MS consoles or Sony consoles, but this is a small minority.

Xbox8? Could u explain where the 8 comes from? Either it's a mistake or I'm stupid!

There are some rumors month ago that the new Xbox will named XBox8, sounds better to me than "nextbox" or "Xbox720".
