So, do I think that the Wii will sell another 9 million units this year?  Easily.

Its already having a weaker year than last year and its still falling so directly comparing might not yield much relevant info. But I do think it'll clear 9 million more without much difficulty, yes.

I posted that because in these year end prediction threads it seems most people vastly underestimate the holidays, for all consoles.

Yeah, people should've learned by now.

But still, it seems like most in here grossly overshot their year end predictions for PS3 and Wii this year. I know I did!

Me too.  On January 9th, I predicted it would be between 73 and 74 million at the end of the year.

It doesn't help that the Wii was adjusted down several times after that date.  I blame the bad info I had to work with. :P

EDIT: I just rechecked the info I used to make my original prediction.  It has been adjusted down so far, that if I had that info in January, I would have predicted between 67 and 68 million.
