El Xbox 360 ha vendido hasta el momento más en Norte América que el Wii, pero también hay que considerar que el Xox 360 salió antes, por lo que el Wii le ha estado ganando terreno en U.S. y ya lo arrebasó en ventas totales en el mundo, el Xbox 360 es la consola con menos futuro de la nueva generación.

For the benefit of the spanish-impaired he essentially said that for now the 360 has outsold the Wii in NA, but it released earlier and the Wii is gaining ground and has surpassed the 360's sales WW. Manuelf is of the opinion that the 360 has the least future of all current-gen systems.

I think if the xbox360 can release 1 kill-ap per year,----- like it has been doing, it might stay king of the americas.

And besides, it's not how many consoles you sell, it's how much software third parties sell, and the wii only benefits nintendo.

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

I'm curious if the folks who complained about the "shortage excuse" on pg 1 will give another reason for this increase or if they will admit that it was in fact a shortage problem.

@crazzyman

What sony shipped in the last 5 weeks of 2007 is in no way indicative of what they built in the last 5 weeks of 2007. All manufacturers ship extra units for the holidays, these extra units are allocated during the year for the X-mas season. In other words a small number from each week's production during the year is held over until X-mas to help meet increased demand.

Not to mention that the Wii did significantly better for the last 5 weeks than the PS3 did:

VGChartz Hardware data for Dec 9th '07 through Jan 6th '08

(last 5 weeks of the year)

Console	Wii	PS3
Total	4,127,414	2,347,659
America	1,645,991	832,939
Japan	917,327	274,328
Total Others	1,564,096	1,240,392

Note that I am not pointing that out as an "omg look how much better the Wii is!!!" but simply to contradict your logic about PS3 shipments being even similar in size to Wii shipments when they clearly weren't. In short Nintendo is producing the Wii much faster than Sony is producing the PS3 according to all information publically available.

well, with the new USA sales, it's for sure that low Wii sales of last week, were due to shortages and nothing more!!
