I think just the fact that so far, the Wii has sold over 10 million in less than a year, while the Gamecube sold only 21 million in 5 years shows that Wii buyers are not primarily Gamecube owners. I expect Wii sales in Japan to eclipse all-time Gamecube sales in Japan before December 31, 2007.

Woah there, that's quite a prediction, you seem to be very confident about this. Are you sure that this will happen? Would you bet money on it?

After all the Wii would have to sell an additional 600k units in only 4 months...

lol, it's all but certain that it will pass GC this year.  A more bold prediction would be that Wii will pass N64 sales total by the end of the year, its possible.
