Black wii? Gee.. that is starting to sound a bit desperate. Let's assume that wii sells something like 200k for the weeks before the pricecut. That leaves something like 16,6 million wii's to be sold in what, 12 weeks? That is:

1,38 million wii's per week!

How many times wii has sold more than 1 million per week lifetime?

3 times!

Now when I think of it, this has to be a joke thread. Sorry, I did not see the sarcasm before this post. :P

Black Wii, how many times have I heard people rebuying 360 or deliberately buying Elite primarily because it was black... colors do wonders.

From price cut to end of year there are 14 weeks or 1.2m average. Will every week break 1m? No. Will a few break 2m? sure. Btw, Wii has broken 1m per week a total of 4 times, not 3, 3 of which were last holiday in succession. Keep in mind this was when it was supply constrained. With no constraints and a lower price+more games to dramatically increase overall value, it will sell many weeks this holiday 1m+.

Actually last year it broke a million 5 times from the last week of November to the last week in December. It also broke a million in December of 2007. So that's 6 times.

@ Tres, I don't think it's that crazy to think Wii can sell double what it did last year when you take into account the facts that have been presented here. Last year it sold 6.5 million in 5 weeks, so this year it might sell 12-13 million in 5 weeks, that being double what it was in 2008.
