Will the Wii hit 50% WW first, or Sony hit 25% WW. Both are moving towards those numbers. The Wii is constantly winning, and PS3 is beating the 360 on a consistant basis as well. Which will hit their perspective landmark number first?

PS3 since its easier to obtain.

For the PS3 to hit 25 it would have to outsell the 360 considerably to take away from its' marketshare or even just slightly beat it to chip away at it and hope Wii sales slow down.

For the Wii to hit 50 it would have to outsell the PS3 + 360 combined considerably.

I don't see either happening for quite some time. Which one will happen first?

At this point i'd have to say I figure Wii will hit 50% first. I'm expecting supply to be increased so Nintendo should start outselling the HD consoles combined on a more consistent basis and I figure WiiFit will help keep demand high in NA and possibly make it supply constrained again in Others temporarily.

PS3 has been outselling 360 for some time now but the margin isn't massive enough yet and I figure eventually before MS loses significantly more marketshare they'll start being more aggressive with a NA price cut. So even if PS3 hits 25% I don't see it happening for quite some time. I'm guessing the Wii hits 50% by the end of 2008 or early 2009 and then for the PS3 to hit 25% it has to outsell the 360 LTD which probably won't happen till much later in 09 at the earliest. 

We shall see what GTA does for it.

At some point I believe the Wii will be over 50% and the PS3 will beover 25%.

The PS3 will not reach 25% this year, the Wii may reach 50%. It all depends on Wii production levels and the impact of Korea and China's launches.

It's hard to said, lately the Wii's percentage has been going between 44.4 and 44.5, the only way for its market share to go up is for it to outsell the PS3 and 360 combined, which is like 300k a week. The Wii hasn't been consistently selling over 300k each so I think the PS3 has a good chance of getting to 25% before the Wii hits 50%.

I hope I don't sound like a "troll" by saying this, but I don't think the Wii will hit 50% this year, the numbers it has to sell are just too high, and if this year does indeed turn out to be "the year of the PS3", the possibility of the PS3 reaching 25% is very plausible. 

PS3 will cause 50% is a lot harder

Neither, I think Wii will hit 100% first.
