I think the most important part of this gen begins when mass market starts to get HD-ready around late 2009. Since mass market never buys the console which is in third place the 360 then will get a really huge boost. 100m is too optimistic but 70m is possible. And although Wii sales over the past weeks just were incredible it remains to be seen if it still is in front of the 360 on 31th Dec. 2011. |
Are you freaking kidding me? Nintendo has estimated around 50mil (or 54 mil not sure) by March 31st 2009. So even if things go really bad in 2009 for Nintendo they'll be at least 70mil by March 31st 2010 and you just said you possibly see the 360 at 70mil lifetime.
Now, I'll let you figure out what's wrong with the bolded statement in your quote.

54m Wii (or even 50m) by March 31st 2009 seems 'very optimistic'...

Okay, I did my research (I should have done it before but I'm lazy like that) and here is a quote from an article for The Source concerning Nintendo's financial report :
"Nintendo raised Wii shipment projections for the year ending March 2009 by 1m to 27.5m. If Nintendo hits its current projection, worldwide Wii shipments will be 51.95m units on March 31 2009 alongside shipments of 101.1m DS portables."
So I wasn't that far off with my numbers.
