Looks like it won't be too long until it hits 50%.
It'll go over 50% for sure. Once Nintendo ramp up production, price drop - anything is possible.
Let's do a few quick calculations to see when it would be plausible for the Wii to go over 50%:
Going over 50% means outselling PS3+360 combined. The current gap between Wii and PS3+360 combined is of 5.57 million, or 5570k.
Last week, the PS3 and the 360 sold 474k combined, but this number will likely go down between 25% and 50% due to the holiday effect wearing out. By calculating those percentages, let's say that they'll end up at 240-350k combined for many weeks in the year.
The Current production level of Wii systems is said to be of 1.8 million units per month, or ~410k units per week. If it continues selling out (which is quite plausible at this time), this means it will be outselling PS3+360 combined by 60-170k weekly.
Let's now see how many weeks it would take to clear the 5570k gap for each of these bounds:
5570k / 60k = 93 weeks (almost 2 years)
5570k / 170k = 32 weeks (a bit more than 7 months)
This is a very rough analysis and doesn't take the impact of PS3's and 360's games into account, nor possible increases in Wii production levels, but it gives us an idea of when 50% Wii market-share could happen.
Conclusion: If you believe that the Wii will continue to sell out, it's quite possible for the Wii to reach 50% market-share during this year. If it doesn't reach it before the holiday season, all will depend on holiday supply.

Wii will be at 50% in no time.
Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

I said it will happen by the end of August 08 and now you guys are finally getting the hint ;)
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
PS3 tops 360 by.. Fall 2008. Wii tops Jesus... Summer 2008.
