Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime says Nintendo should finally muscle past Microsoft's Xbox 360 in total US unit sales by June 2008, but is he right?
The U.S. difference between Microsoft and Nintendo stands at roughly 10.9 and 9.4 million units respectively, or about 1.5 million units. In January the Wii outsold the Xbox 360 by around 44,000 units, which if we unwisely assume a constant similar forward rate between now and June would only net Nintendo around 176,000 units. But that's ignoring likely meteoric events between now and then, like the impending release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
