When will the wii pass the 360 in sales for NA?
Prior to the launch of Wii fit.
The week wii fit is launched. (3 vote)
After the launch of wii fit? (15 votes)
and for 360 fanboys.... never
I am guessing the launch of wii fit... I am sure Nintendo will release massive amounts of wiis for that. The monthly totals have not been adding up to what the production levels should be, so they are likely doing some stockpiling, or being under tracked.
That said, Nintendo will probably release some with Mario Kart too which will be released sooner. If that amount is huge, it may cause the wii to pass the 360 sooner. Nintendo should be increasing production (but haven't heard anything??? I was expecting to hear something end of March or early April)

Number more weeks prior to Wii fit:1
After April 26th: Wii must sell 166 (lost ground, must sell 218) thounds per week more than the 360 to catch up the week of launch.
After May 3rd... Wii gained some ground back. Must sell 193.4 thousand per week more than the 360 to catch up the week of launch.
After May 10th... Wii gained some ground, but 360 will get no more boost from GTA IV... This is also the wii's low week as it alternates between good and bad... Wii fit will fall on what would normally be a bad week, but I don't expect that... Wii must sell 260 thousand more than the 360 for the next two weeks in a row to pass the 360 during wii fit launch.
After May 17th... The week wasn't as huge as expected for the up mark, but it also looks like 360 was adjusted down. So wii is gaining, but it will need a huge week of 310K to do it the week of wii fit.
