I understand that Nintendo and other sources claim the NDS is at 2.5m units a month for shipping, but I believe that information is VERY false. Consider this: The NDS sold 500,000 units (estimated) in the US, and around 550,000 in NA/America. The NDS sold around a similar number (125k/week) in Japan Also, the NDS is selling most likely around 400k a month in Europe/other. That puts actual sellthrough @ 1.4m units a month. The NDS is near (or actually) sold-out everywhere or almost everywhere in Japan, and I feel that most likely the NDS is near that level elsewhere. By those sales numbers which are actual (atleast for NA and Japan), Nintendo is shipping 600k to 1m units that aren't selling. IMO, at this stage, thats impossibe. The DS is doing beastly-like numbers, therefore I feel the 2.5m unit is far over-exaggerating their claims. Please prove me wrong, but the numbers just don't add up. This is why I believe Nintendo can't actually increase their Wii capacity as quickly as some believe possible. Again, at Nintendo doing 1.0m units right now, that'd put them at 62m units LTD at the 5 year mark, assuming every shipped unit sold. Obviously I calculated them doing 1.6m units a month (a beastly number regardless) by 2009, and staying there till November 2011, giving them the 82m unit number.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
