PS3 also outsold Wii this month more than it ever has before.

Wii really is gonna be lucky if it passes 2.5m in the US this year, even that is looking like an uphill battle though.

X360 is also firmly ahead now in SW in the US this gen (bundles not included)

Good month for Sony and MS. PS3 and X360 sold great and even Vita did more than many expected. Still industry is down 25% compared to last year... You really can see how much Nintendo carried the whole industy in past years. Now when Wii is dying and 3DS can't replace DS the whole industry is in free fall (In US and UK).

Reckon the 360 will overtake the Wii in the US then? If it keeps it up like this each week on average, it'll take 28 months. I know it'll likely grow in the holidays and perhaps more this month with Star Wars, and of course when there's a price cut, so 18-20 months is more likely. The question is, will the 360 continue selling for that long after the WiiU is released? 

However, I still reckon both will end up very close. Could go either way, depending on how quickly Wii drops further.

Ps3 is a great Console with a great library of games. Great Consoles sell Great so this is why Ps3 is giving fight in the USA, but ofc if MS drops the price of 360 to 129.99$ sales will be way ahead once again and 360 could have its best holiday ever.

Wii other hand has no games, no support and its a console of casual people... its died and Wii U wont have this sucess ever... Nintendo was lucky but that happens 1 time in life.

@ toadslayer

Its probably pretty clear at this point that 360 fumds all those price drops.
every year every store its always 360 nver ps3. Yet retailers make the same profit from both.

Ms just figured out how to have price cuts without having price cuts.

@arrgh
Its unlikely thougg that it will both have price drop and those sweet walmart/target 100$ off deals. So, its just going to be xmas as usual.

Even assuming Wii U will cause X360 sales to drop (I got no idea why it would happen unless Wii U is like 200$) it will also cause Wii sales drop.

There's no ifs here just a matter of when in USA.

2500k seems reasonable - they are probably looking at 6 milions in 2012 globally

Why would it happen? Because people want the next BIG thing. It may not cause sales to drop dramatically, but -10% YoY + whatever else due to age and fatigue for the PS360, and -20% YoY+ Whatever else for Wii seems likely. 

The 360 can't sell forever. It'll start to drop dramatically, and it'll probably either happen later this year or early next. It's whether or not it can continue to outsell the Wii at this rate for long enough to get close enough to the Wii's sales. Because when the 360 starts to drop in sales, the difference between sales of the two each month will be much less than 200k per month, or 50k per week...

I expect we'll see something along the lines of (LT):

47mil Wii

47.5mil 360

32mil PS3

This seems possible, so the 360 just edging the Wii
