^ Agreed! If there is no market expansion then yeah it would be difficult to achieve those numbers.

With market expansion, it could, should and would easily out pace the 24 million a year mark.

Please remember, 24 million a year equates to just 2 million a month...

If Nintendo have already upped production to 1.5 million a month barely several months into it's life and still selling out (taking into consideration they are selling roughly 1.1 mil a month and stocking the other 400k for christmas-which if they aren't will be suicide), upping to 2 million a month, even 2.5 - 3 million a month isn't out of the question.

 the 360's life

1 hour.. till RROD lol

 ROFL.

QFT.

ty youtube. 

We all no the Wii is doing phenomenal, but 240m is an absolutly retarted prediction.

 Or is it?.......yep it is.

240,000 million is a bit crazy, I'll admit, but John Lucas is a good buddy of mine and I'll stick to whatever he has to say so long as it's not that far out, I don't think this is.

But crazy? Yes.

Just imagine 1st party slaes @ 240,000,000

I measure it in disc rotations.

(I am so ashamed that I referenced RENT) 

Wii sales are already decling in Japan..barely 40k a week..

No chance..

40k a week...?....is that supposed to be low?....and what about mp3, smg, ssbb?....mario kart wii?....thats just what nintendo announced so far, another game that hasn't been announced, animal crossing will be announced for 2008 for sure, thats a game can sell up to about 4-5 million, thats just an example.

but I can't agree with you either john lucas, no fence, but I do not think there is a chance in hell for the ds to reach 150 million, and if it won't reach that, there is really not really a realistic prediction to say that wii will succéed where the ds has failed.
it's like saying that george bush will be re-elected president once more, although he has alreade been sitting 8 years on his throne.

It's selling 40k a week in Japan because resources were shifted to the US for Metroid Prime 3 (where it picked up all slack from Japan).

Wii sales have not been declining.
