This is going to piss MS off big time. They dropped the price 3 weeks ago and look what happens.

And in the same week that the world had the greatest stock market drop ever.

I think Nintendo will be Wiimaking sales numbers till next march. Now i have to question that whole it won't get to 50 million theory b4 jan 1.

No need to question that, there is no chance they will have enough stock to make it.... at best the shipments won't pass 47 million, and unlikely pass 46 million.

Nintendo's next fiscal report should be out within the next few weeks, so we may get an update on their shipment target, although I don't expect them to increase it, it's already high as it is. If they don't raise the target, your numbers for calendar year end are reasonable.

Well unless they have increased production above 2.4 million per month then I am right, and even if they have (but not announced it for some reason) it would need to be a hell of a big increase for them to exceed 50 million shipped.

Like I said before, there are factors no one but Nintendo knows about.... like it depends how fast they managed to increase production up to 2.4, and when they started the increase (a long drawn out increase from Feb to July would mean more consoles than a short one of May to July)

but given all the benefits of the doubt, shipments could still not exceed 50 million by calendar years end.... Personally I think they will still exceed their current fiscal target by perhaps 1 million... meaning 52 million shipped by March 31st, but not December 31st.
