Glad you ask.
2008 Jan - 1st week of June.
Wii sold = ~7,889,378
2008 total sold = ~23,840,570
2009 Jan - 1st week of June.
Wii sold = ~7,312,910
So, the Wii is only down by ~500,000 units as compared to last year. This is surprising since Japan has been so massively slow thus far. Now consider you have Monster Hunter 3 and a new Wii color coming to Japan soon, Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros, and a good amount of solid 3rd party efforts vs crappy wagglefied PS2 ports.
I'd say it is very much possible for Wii to *ship* >26m this year.
