The Nintendo Gamecube has sold 12,741,437 to date - approximately 12.74m lifetime total - in North America. Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 has sold 11,435,929 to date, and the Wii has 10,258,533.
12.74 - 11.44 = 1.30m total consoles that the 360 has to sell in North America to pass the Gamecube.
12.74 - 10.26 = 2.48m total consoles that the Wii has to sell in North America in order to surpass its predecessor.
According to the charts, the Wii has accomplished roughly a little shy of 2x the 360's total sales in America since 2008's start, and it's clear by the aforementioned charts that those sales have only been as low as they have due to supply. But, can Nintendo sufficiently supply NA with the required number of consoles to pass this mile-mark first? It's clear there are problems in supply.
The question is... which will achieve this goal first?
Then, if you claim the Wii will, that means the Wii will surpass the 360 before either of them reach 12.74m. So, when do you think the Wii will surpass the 360?
If you claim the 360 will, do you think the Wii ever will surpass the 360 in NA? If you do, when?
