Some odd things to note;

1. Didn't Iwata say that 75 games shipped over a million copies at GDC? 54 is a lot closer to our 51. It is hard to believe that the several games with 900K sales haven't already shipped 1 million. I would figured that games with as low as 750k would have already shipped 1 million as well.

2. Wasn't Nintendo's plan to ship 52 million units by March? I know they lowered their forecast but it is hard to believe that after two months later they still hadn't even shipped 50 million.

3. VGchartz has the wii at 49.5mil. Considering that the wii sells about 250-400k a week worldwide, it is hard to believe that nintendo only has two weeks worth of shipments on shelves.

4. I could swear nintendo stated they shipped 50 million units back in late March or early April. I would have to look into that though.

What I am trying to get across is the numbers are quite peculiar. Either the wii and software are overtracked or undertracked.
