Xbox 360 to pass Wii in US by year's end

article published on 28 June, 2013

While the Nintendo Wii console once led Microsoft's Xbox 360 console by over nine million in lifetime sales in the U.S, it is likely to lose its American crown this year.

Agreed. Although, I bought an early elite and it's never failed *knock on wood* But I was thinking the same thing as you when I read this.

I had to buy two 360s because Microsoft wouldn't honor the warranty of the first (some nonsense about it not covering heat damage, which was nice because the console constantly overheated in a well-ventilated area) and I didn't bother to buy a third when the second failed.

The Wii I bought in '06, however? Still chugging along just fine. So is the launch PS3 I bought second-hand, despite occupying the same space the 360 melted itself in.
