Wii 1,000,000: Hmm, somebody's been reading my predictions

[johnlucas]

So analysts have been lurking the VGChartz forums eh?

Listen to this report y'all:

From Gamasutra.com — Analysts: 'Hardware Storm' Could See Wii Sales Approach 1M Per Month

(yes I've finally figured out how to work this forum style a little better now. Look words for links and everything)

That sounds very very familiar to something I said here a few months ago...

Nintendo Wii will see regular 1,000,000 per month sales in U.S.

And even though I've been largely absent lately I've been lurking every now and again hearing people saying my 4.1 million a month Wii production prediction fell flat.

Not so fast. A quote from that 4.1 million per month thread...

4.1 — Nintendo's number to remember
http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=17683

"4.1" is the numeral in front of the word "million" that Nintendo will end up producing for Wiis per month worldwide within this year.

Another quote:

This figure or its quarterly revisions will be able to be broken up into 12 pieces which will most likely see 4.1 million per month as the quotient.

It's a no-brainer. This system is almost 2 years old and still under launch fever. Too many want it. Too many good games are on it. And too many miss out. Nintendo is not one to sleep on such an opportunity and they will deliver. 60 million is coming.

I think now with experience to make mass production without waste they can better handle getting more systems out.
It will only create new demand and put them back at square one but if you thought the last two Christmas seasons were something you watch out for this one. The numbers that will come out of Nintendo will make your stomach turn over.

The analysts are trying to 'get hep' trying to bite my style. Craig Mack said you jockin' my style, you jockin' my style boy, ya jockin' MY style! Analysts stop jockin' my style, you know you can't touch the flav.
