| Ail said: To reach 50% marketshare by the end of the year the Wii would need to consistently week over week get over 55% of each week marketshare for the rest of the year... This has never happened this year, the highest marketshare Wii had a single week was on 2/10/08 with 54.3% marketshare. In the latest pick in that chart the Wii didn't even have 50% marketshare...
Lets say the PS3 keep selling at an average of 175k/week and the Xbox360 at 140k/week for the rest of the year. The Wii would need to sell 500k units/week for the next 35 weeks to reach 50% marketshare. That is what the maths tell you which is what makes most of the posts in this thread saying the Wii will be at 50% marketshare before the end of year so funny and clueless...

Yeah that's why I said that it was unlikely that it would be able to do so. I think it'll get close. So far, this year, it's managed a 46% marketshare, so I think it's likely it'll get close to 47% or so, and then probably early next year it'll hit 50%.
@montana: yeah I think 200k a week during normal weeks would be about right, which is about double what it's averaging right about now.
