Nintendo's forecast of 16 million units shipped in 6 months is absolutely insane. They want to ship nearly 3 million per month? They've clearly stockpiled a lot of units.

 

 Just 1.4M, as they would produce 14.4M in 6 months normally.

 

Maybe -- but they're going to sell the majority of those units in the first three of that six month span.  I don't know if they anticipate borrowing them from the shipment pipeline (air shipping a large percentage them) or what, but they must anticipate selling a lot of units this holiday season.

Last year January and February were lean months for the Wii as shipment pipelines repopulated.
