Yeah, if things keep up JL's prediction will be close.

I still say that if things stay the same, Wii will be around 43-47m at the end 2008.

Let's see: 19m or so by Jan 2008.
1.8m / month for 6 months.
2.5m / month for 6 months. (I think Nintendo will increase production again by mid year.

1.8 * 6 = 10.8m
2.5 * 6 = 15m

so, 19 + 10.8 + 15 = 44.8m.

I am probably under estimating how much Nintendo will increase production by, but, that is how I am seeing things so far.

Thats providing Nintendo manages to continue selling every Wii they make. Not improbable with the way things are going, but to keep demand like that up for 2 years running will be insane.

True. They may not keep a continuous sell out in 2008, but I still think that whatever they make in 2008 will sell by xmas.

At this point I don't know if it's much more insane than keeping this kind of demand up for 2 christmas seasons in a row. That is pretty screwy in and of itself, but if it continues to snowball I don't know how much more of a stretch it is to see it lasting through next winter as well, especially if some of these new games coming out in 2008 live up to the hype.

The ds is selling amazingly, guys the psp is selling well as well, its just its IMPOSSIBLE to outsell a nintendo Handheld. #1 Kids
#2 Adults

#3 Price+ amazing games

Nintendo has taken the handheld market, and its almost impossible for anything to take them down. I expect 85M by 08's end for DS, and 45M for psp.

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Over 60 million already? Man, oh, man! It's going to pass the sales of the original Nintendo, if it hasn't already. The Playstation Portable has almost surpassed the sales of the Genesis, believe it or not. The Nintendo DS may end at 200 million consoles sold!
