I agree my 'maths' probably doesn't work out... Sounds good though

 

No, I think you are close enough for rock 'n roll.

If the Wii version was 1/4 the production cost: (600 - 900k) x 4 = 2.4 - 3.6 million
If the Wii version was 1/3 the production cost: (600 - 900k) x 3 = 1.8 - 2.7 million

Of course, there are likely many other factors that should be considered, but as a "seat of the pants" calculation it is kind of fun. Edit: I didn't calculate for the difference in unit price. Maybe you did and that is why our numbers are different.
