And last year I predicted that it would sell 72 milj. by the end of 2009 and my prediction was actually pretty low compared to others. Something like 64-65milj. is still fantastic result for so young console but a lot less than most of us last year thought it would do.

same here (around 75-77m myself I believe). Nintendo really dropped the ball this year with the Wii. They were doing fantastic with constant sellouts and then sales just plumetted due to a lack of must have games coming out for quite some time.

Don't get me wrong, there were tons of good games, but not a lot of must have games.

Anyways, we have 6 more weeks of sales (obviously less real time, but sales reports lag) between now and Christmas (26th). Wii hit 500k last week and it is only up from here. We'll probably see something like

700k, 1.1m, 900k, 1.3m, 1.7m, 1.1m

for a grand total of 6.8m units sold through Dec 26th, for 63.5m sold total. The week following Christmas should see ~500k, so 64m sold by 2010.

Nice numbers norlead, I only excpected wii to top 62 million before 2010 but those numbers are pretty reasonable, with black wii and NSMBwii to help, 

DS owners who don't have a wii but have NSMB will surley buy a wii for NSMBWii, plus there are black wii bundles with NSMBWii at a low price.  Do you think DS could top 120 million before 2010? I expect them only to do 118 million at the least. 

Will there be a big party on VGchartz when Wii tops NES sales?
