I really don't see why you guys are going with the Wii still. Look at the table I posted.

The Wii needs a 30% boost in the current average sales just to get there in the same week as the X360's CURRENT sales pace. If the 360 gets a 30% increase the Wii needs a 70% just to get there the same week. It just seems unfeasible to me even if we assume the Wii will suddenly jump in sales.


Who knows, I've been wrong before but I'll admit up front I really don't think this is one of those times.


You're wrong.

Read my post and redo you math a bit. I have 360 taking 19 weeks, not 17 for one. Plus I massively rounded up Wii's 22 weeks. It was literealy 21.014... That's only 2 week difference. Based on your table that's less than a 20% increase. I think that is a given.

360 will see no weekly increase until holidays. Wii on the other hand will increase its average by 20-25% or go from about 115k/week to about 140k/week. That's not a big difference given they are currently sold out and there are two very big games coming in April/May.
