To be clear, Nintendo's quarterly report said 16.5 million Wiis would be shipped from April 1 2007 to March 31 2008 (the fiscal year).
Through June 30, 9.27 million had been shipped already .
5.84 million had been shipped through March 31.
Originally, Nintendo projected 14.0 million to be shipped from April 07' to March 08'.
16.5+5.87 = 22.37 million Wiis shipped by March 31, 2008 if Nintendo meets projections. I think Nintendo will beat their projections slightly, which is why I have been saying ~ 20 million sold to gamers by December 31, 2007. I suspect the March 31 2008 total will end up near 24 million (remember Wii Fit is coming in Japan this year, and it is potentially the biggest thing in the history of the industry, and Mario Kart which has huge selling power is coming to the USA in Q1 2008).
