Huge XBox 360 fan here, but your views on console sales are about as silly as your views on politics.

To the original poster:

No one thinks of the Xbox 360 as being cheaper than the Wii. While Microsoft tags the "Now starting at $199" on the end of its funded commercials for third-party software (ironically usually multi-platform software), most store ads push the $299 model -- which is a far better value. (Of course, it costs another $100 for a wireless adapter, which no one talks about).

The Arcade has caused some sales increases, but nothing in the dramatic neighborhood which would be needed to challenge the Wii in North America. And given the evidence from Europe, it is doubtful that that will happen.

...

Now if I may be allowed to delve into politics for just a minute. The current Republican Treasury Secretary is talking about buying stakes in banks. And the Republican Presidential candidate has floated a plan to buy mortgages that been blasted as being a big government takeover by conservatives. So it appears that there are "socialists" all over the political spectrum right now.

(And thank you for changing your sig back to supporting your candidate rather than objecting to the opposing candidate. You are showing what democracy is supposed to be about rather what you were showing before -- the trap into which it has fallen).

DONT MAKE JOKES.
Oh wait you already Have.

u may b right soriku. im starting to like Obama although to me american politics are just crazy, although more entertaining

on original topic i really dont see it happening, wii should easily outsell PS3 and 360 this holiday season.itll have higher shipments and better third party support than last year.GHIV, RB and wii music should all help push consoles as the music gnere is so succesfull on the console.oh and whilst Animal Crossing is no mario its still an AAA multi-million selling franchise, nintendo will market the hell out of it

I wouldn't go predicting console sales, it is very hard to predict. Even if the XBOX360 outsells the Wii this Christmas holliday, it still has a long way to catch up in sales. It's funny how the Xbox360 has always been sold below cost and the Wii has been sold above cost, yet the Wii sells more.
