Here, I helped you with your chart.  You had a few errors.

 

Now I'll grant you the holidays may push some more units, but none of those I edited in bold will make it to 1 million units before 2009 at their current sales rates and average holiday boosts.

Wii.

It's been catching up to 360, but it still has a ways to go.

Wii, the huge userbase allows for higher sales and more companies will start developing games for Wii. Simple.

If I am right this was the situation at the begin of January:

X360 32 million sellers
Wii 18 Million sellers.
PS3 5 Million sellers.






SOLIDSNAKE08 on 21 July 2008

And the latest numbers are:

x360 42 million sellers
wii 27 million sellers
ps3 15 million sellers

So that means the x360 gained 10 more, the wii 9 more and the ps3 10 more. That fits pretty much with what i said all along which is despite the wii having massive hardware sales only a select few wii games get most of the sales.

While this could be true, there is another possible explanation.

Given that all 29 of those new millions sellers most likely did not launch after Jan 01, 2008, it's likely that many for either of the 3 systems were near 1 million just prior to New Years.  A few sales later and appaerence of your supposition is seen.

 

I'm not suggesting your theory is incorrect, just that it's not the only plausible one.
