Its no longer a question of if but when. The Wii should be the newly crowned king of the console war by the time the leaves change.
According to vg charts, The 360 still holds an ever thinning lead of 1.6 million units over our little white funbox.
As reported earlier, Nintendo stepped up production to 1.5 million consoles a month and still hasn’t met demand with nearly instant sellouts worldwide. Couple this with flat US 360 sales (60,000 a week) and anemic sales in Japan and elsewhere and its understandable as to why the sales gap is closing.
If the sales disparity outlined by swivel continues its easy to understand the Wii will be the new sales champ way before it turns one year old.
What does this mean? Nothing, really. Its just impressive that Nintendo can pull this off when most analysts didn’t give it much of a fighting chance last November.
