Strange that it should take so long for it to make a 1.1% gain, but that is the way of things.

Nothing that'll really push systems until Wii Sports Resort and Punch-Out!!, the rest of the good stuff is largely just going to sell to established Wii owners (except in Japan, theirs is much more volatile on a release-to-release basis)

When you consider that right now 0.1% is roughly equal to 94,300 consoles, it's easy to see why 1.1% gain is hard to get but we'll get there!

It's not strange. Just percentage versus raw number.

Say that Wii is at 49% and PS360 is at 51%.

Situation 1: Wii sold 49 consoles while PS360 sold 51. For the Wii to the the PS360, it needs to sell 3 more consoles than PS360 sells in a week. Easy, right?

Situation 2: Wii sold 49 million and PS360 sold 51 million. For the Wii to the the PS360, it needs to sell 3 million more consoles than PS360 sells in a week. It can't do it in a week... itś going to take a while then.

Both situations have the Wii at 49% and PS360 at 51%. It's just that percentages can be deceiving sometimes.

Until Nintendo announces something big. 2.27 million more until 50%. If Wii can sell double of ps3 and xbox 360 each week it could make it faster.

the Wii will never reach 50%, once the PS3 gets it's price drop as rumored it will start to outsell the Wii month by month, the Wii has had a good run but there is nobody in this world that would buy a 250.00 Wii over a 300.00 PS3.

I am also not sure it will reach 50%. The more each of the other two sales the harder it is.

Just do this. Each week, add the ps3 and xbox360 numbers. If that is smaller than what the Wii did, then the Wii is on track (getting closer) to reaching 50% sales. In the past year, very few weeks have been an exception to this. So if this keeps going, it will get there sometime.

Just because that is the value you give to those consoles does not mean it is the same for everyone else.

By that logic the 360 should be outselling the Wii.

I think Wii sales will start to pick up in June when its E3. Nintendo will announce a lot of titles.

 Wow, where to start...

1. The Wii will reach 50% and it is going to happen in a few months.

2. There will be no price cut for the PS3 this year.  Sony just cannot afford it right now.

3. The PS3 outselling the Wii for any extended period of time is nearly impossible.

Try taking off your rose colored glasses and look at the real data for a change.
