No doubt fueled by the huge success of Smash Bros Brawl in Japan, and it’s inevitable dominance here in the west, Reggie Fils-Aime has proclaimed the Wii will surpass the Xbox 360 in liftetime-to-date sales in the U.S. by June. And well, the only thing we have to say in response is…”Ayup. Sounds about right.”

Seriously people, this whole Brawl thing is going to blow up huge. I wonder if those who’ve never gotten into a fan frenzy could possibly understand what is being unleashed on the Wii. Brawl will likely be the first game for Wii that sells systems. Normally the Wii sells itself to the casual market with it’s easy to play Wii Sports and promise of family friend fun. Metroid Prime and Mario Galaxy both made a go at being the game to own for Nintendo’s console, but neither quite made it there.

Not only do you have Super Smash Bros. Brawl to look forward to on March 9th, but Mario Kart Wii is rumored to be out in April at some point. And don’t forget Wii Fit in May, which should be another casual gamer megaton for Nintendo here in the good ol’ U.S. of A.
