I think it has a chance of doing that, it’s only 00.1% away from reaching 48% and then has only 02% left. So what do you think?

I think the sales in Japan is the biggest obstacle for the Wii. If they were to be around 40-50k weekly, i could see 50% by year-end( assuming the American sales will go crazy for a few weeks)

Yeah but animal crossing will give it a boost ;)
And in America I think it will be over 300k this week

Won't quite happen, if the 360 & PS3 sell say 2.5-3 million each by the end of the year, then the Wii needs to sell over 8-9million in 6-7 weeks to make it to 50%. It basically needs to sell the PS3 & 360 combined by around 450k per week.
It'll be close, but can't see it happening, it will get there in Q1 2009 easily.

I don’t think any of them will sell 4m from now till the end of the year…

^Yeah, 4 mil sounds a bit steep for the PS3. Possible for 360 though.

Sorry I adjusted my numbers, I was originally basing 4 million as a fairly conservative estimate for Q4 when we are half way through it already so numbers are different
Wii basically has to outsell PS360 3:1 from now to the end of the year to even get close

The thing is, if things were static than yes. But as the Wii increases its percentage going up further increases in difficulty. Especially since the other consoles are doing quite well. I wouldn't put it past the Wii, but I also don't think it a definite. Sorry, I know that's a little wishy washy but who knows? We'll know soon enough.
The Wii will end the year with around 45 million sold, but 50% market share won't be reached until next year.
My bet from a few months ago was February 2009 if I remember correctly, but I haven't redone the calculations since then.

I've been wondering if it might hit the 50% mark myself. I've had my sig up for, what, a year now? and I figured that when I said "by june" that it would still be like, march to april at the earliest to edge out that 50% point.
kinda frustrating, I thought I was going to have it nailed perfectly, but all of a sudden, Wii's sales rates have just obliterated the HD side.
