Yeah I don't think its unrealistic to expect Wii to be at 72-78m shipped on Dec 31, 2009, and it could be as high as 80m shipped (35m shipped from Jan 1 2009 to Dec 31 2009 is what an 80m total would mean)
If they hit 51m on March 31, 2009 it probably isn't unreasonable to expect 58m by June 30, 2009, 64m by Sept 30, 2009, 76.5m on Dec 31, 2009 and then 83m on March 31, 2010.
I see them projecting ~28m Wiis for the year ending March 2010 and then ending up at 28-35m Wiis in the year ending March 2010.
Wii is tracking faster than DS from launch, so who knows maybe Wii will do 40m in its best year. To me though 28-35m is likely the peak year(s) for Wii.
