When will the Wii pass the SNES?

People have some really, really odd predictions here.

Okay, let's say Nintendo ships 1.8M a month now, stockpiling 400K, with 200K for replacements/not being sold. This is relatively pessimistic.

So, if we also go with the probable for the end of the year (slight on the low side), we can say 45M.

After 3 months (1st may) this would be 50.4M (around that). Slightly lower than Nintendo's shipment forecast, so we're really lowballing here.

3 months later, it would have 56M, and by the start of Q4, it would have ~ 62M.

 

So, there is NO CHANGE that Wii will not beat the SNES before 1st May 09. Predicting otherwise proves you haven't really done any research.

 

As for Milennium, it looks like the Wii will easily be over 70M, and perhaps over 75M, by the end of the year. The Wii will by no means be hard pressed to make 60M.
