Fils-Aime: Wii will surpass 360 by June in US

Nintendo of America boss says Wii Fit and Smash Bros will sustain sales rush

Outspoken NoA boss Reggie Fils-Aime has, according to Bloomberg, stated that he expects the installed base of Nintendo’s Wii console to surpass that of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 by June in North America.

He cited the spring releases of Japanese chart-toppers Super Smash Bros Brawl and Wii Fit as the reason, though with the Wii continuing to perform strongly it seems inevitable that the machine will edge ahead of its opponent in the US eventually.
