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.

But this is only an announcement by Nintendo. I don't think they will have sold through 50m by the end of March 2009.

Maybe the 360 has 75m by Dec. 31 2011 and the Wii 80m, but the decline from the huge sales the Wii in the past weeks had could come sooner than some people expect. The Hula Hoop  once also had unbelievable sales for some time and one year later was almost  unsellable.
