Whoa, there. India has a working adult population of over half a billion. Of those half-billion, approximately a third of them could afford a Wii without feeling any adverse effects whatsoever. That's already more than double the entire population of Italy. The top 10% of their population makes about 1/3 of India's income, so every single one of that 110,000,000 people can easily afford a Wii.
Combine that with the fact that it caters to the non-gamer, and you're looking at a HUGE potential market. I'd expect at least five million total sales by end of generation, and as much as 50m (although I'm leaning much more toward the bottom end of that prediction).
