Wii vs 360

Shy and retiring Nintendo US boss Reggie Fils-Aime has predicted that the Wii will outsell the 360 by June in the US. And he's probably right, although I reckon Wii Fit will have more eventual impact than Super Smash Bros Brawl. But are the Wii and 360 actually competitors any more? The 360 can try going casual - SceneIt? and er, Viva Pinata - but it will always struggle to be a convincing family machine. Likewise the Wii will never satisfy the HD/shooter/sport/male needs of the hardcore. Nope, the real "battle" is between 360 and PS3 - care to lay your bets on which of these will have sold the most by 2010? PS3 by a Blu-ray inspired whisker? I think so.
