Wii bigger than 360? I hope!
No doubt.

Although I am not sure why you "hope" that is the case. Usually we pretend to be objective and unbiased in this thread!

I'm not predicting! But it has been sad seeing Wii down this year...hoping for a bit of a comeback!

Wii is still the number 1 gift console. It will easily come on top.

How many Wii needs to sell more than 360 to surpass it for 2010?
Total Jan-Nov (millions):

NDS - 6.1
360 - 4.9
Wii - 4.7
PS3 - 3.1
PSP - 1.2

Answering, around 200k more.

So I guess this answers the question of the likelihood of 360 coming out on top for the year!
 
Helpful Reminder: Major retailers were giving away $100 gift cards with purchase of a PS3 and $75 gift cards with purchase of a Wii the week before Christmas.
 
2nd Helpful Hint. People predicting like 2.1 million Wii are expecting sales in December to fall over 40% from last year. Seeing as November saw a increase YOY no matter how small to expect a drop that large is a bit odd
