For the Wii sells number:

Nintendo is planing to have shipped a total of 22 millions untill end of fiscal year 07. Now Nintendo has sold roughly 10 millions Wii now, that leaves 12 millions until marsch next year. Assuming that Nintendo ships 1 million WW each month after holidays, januari, februari and Marsch, we can remove 3 millions from that number. That leaves us with 9 millions WW. That I think will leaves us the possibility for a total sale of 3-4 millions in USA. I think that USA will get the lion share (4 millions) followed by Japan (3 millions) and last as usual PAL (2 millions). Of course this is just assumptions. BUT 3-4 millions should be max in USA.

I thought 22 Millions in the fiscal year? It started about March (5.9 Million Units). If you count shipped = Sold meaning they have about 18 Millions left til march (not 12). Also keep in mind, the only region the Wii is avaible any time at the moment is Others (Europe). It got a big share of the already increased production. Makes sense to Nintendo, they have the strongest competition there. Also I think, Nintend is keeping that number "low". I think they can ship more (25 Millions). I think they upping prodiction big time at the moment, and america is getting this time the big piece of the pie. I think the Wii will be avaible in North America begin of september. Either that or the numbers sold get trough the roof this month. I excpect Nintendo to ship every week more to NA this month. I think the shipments at begin of September will be 150-175k a week.

Nope you are actualy wrong here, they were supposed to ship 14 millions Wii for fiscal year 07, then they raised that to 16.5 millions, or roughly 22 millions totally.

@sqrl

Do you really think that the american market will get 4.5 millions Wii during this autumm, that is almost half that should be availible WW. I think that sounds a little bit to much, if nintendo doesn't raise the shippment forcast again.
