"Edit: btw just checked and the PS2's best 3 year stretch was about 55 mil."

I wouldn't necessarily count any time span as solid truths unless a console starts that period without and back stock units. I'm not sure what span you're referring to, but if it's in the middle somewhere, PS2 likely had units on the shelves, which means better sales if demand is high enough.

According to this 3 year idea, even if Wii sells the same per year for the first 3 years, it would be 15x3 = 45 million units sold, under supply constrictions... remove the constriction, and you're ONLY needing to make up a 10 million difference, which is easy to do during holiday seasons 3 times.

 I think one of us is slightly confused, but I'm not sure who.  What I was trying to say with my edit was basically "Look, the PS2 sold only 55 mil in its best 3 years and it sold 120 mil overall.  The ipod sold 114 mil in the last 3 years and that could even have some room for increasing."  I was just trying to prove that we shouldn't just look at the PS2 as some limiting factor here and realize the sky could be the limit.  I wasn't really trying to show anything about stock or production in that paragraph.
