According to the group, Wii has now sold 10.9 million machines in America, compared to Xbox 360’s 10.4 million.

    Well, there we have it. Didn’t take nearly as long as they predicted, did it? We weren’t supposed to get here until Christmas.

    How long before the PS3 overtakes the 360? 6 or 12 months?

    No way will it take that long. (IMO)

    At current sales rates I think three years is probably about right. Two if they’re lucky.

    Well.. if a game of MGS4’s calibre gets released every month it would take about 30 months (based on a 200k difference per month).
