Didn't we know this already from Nintendo's last financial report, which stated the intent to ship 22.5m Wii's by March? That works out to about 20m Wii's by the new year, probably.

Still, it's nice to hear it again.

 

I don't know where IGN is getting their fugures, but Nintendo made that financial report when they believed they'd be able to increase Wii demand considerably.  As of a couple of weeks ago Nintendo said they've been having trouble improving manufacturing and there'd still be a shortage this Christmas.

That article about Nintendo having manufacturing problems was dated way back in June. It's October now.
