Okay, time to put some facts.

For Wii to outsell Ps360 by 178K/week, it would have to break even in Others (sell as much as ps360) (it is currently selling 35K less/week.)

In Japan it would have to increase to 80K/week (it is selling 45K/week more currently, but here holiday should give a major boost, as Ps360 doesn't sell a lot)

In America it would have to sell 90K more /week, compared to 10K/week so far this year. During the last 2 months, it has sold about 60K/week more, and with holiday it could make 80K/week.

This means, that for Wii to outsell Ps360, it would need to average:

Japan: 110K

Others: 200K

America: 250K

WW: 560K/week. Or 2426K/month.

The above estimation includes holiday seasons, but has perhaps not taken it into big enough account. Real number might be closer to 2600K/month.


Well obviously Nintendo has the production increases in place to make it happen. Europe and Japan probably won't improve much, but the US will. Last month we saw 700k Wii vs. 400k HD consoles. I could imagine this ratio going up to 1000k vs. 300k for the summer months which would be the 100k/week increase you asked for.
