The past few NPD sales charts have shown the Wii (and in one instance, even the Xbox 360) overtaking the Nintendo DS. If you believe in the powers of super-analyst Michael Pachter, though, the DS will reclaim the number one spot in the U.S. this holiday season. The Wii, he thinks, will follow as the second most sold piece of gaming hardware. If Pachter is right, it looks like Nintendo will be sitting pretty for the holidays.We have to wonder, however, if he would predict that the Wii take the top spot if limited supply wasn't an issue.

Go go Power Rangers!

I got nothing other than: if Smash Bros. Brawl were released on-time, I suspect the Wii would be on quite-a-many wishlists this holiday season. But the thing is: would there have been enough Wii's to complement the Smash Bros. Brawl demand? Dun dun duuuuuun! ~_0

He obviously wasn't looking at the games list when he made that statement.
Oh and the blatant fact that for some reason in North America, the Wii keeps selling, but no one is buying the good games.

Pretty sure that this gets a resounding 'duh' from anyone who's been paying attention to the charts...
