There is absolutely no way with the pace that the Wii is currently selling at, that it just sells another 20 million in the next 2 years and suddenly flatlines after that. 90 million total sales is an EXTREMELY conservative estimate for total Wii sales at this point, and saying the PS2 will make it to 160 million LTD is extremely optimistic for the console.
PS2 has been a massive success, but currently sits at barely 140 million and has recently drops off fast. It would be lucky to make it past 145 million at this point.
Wii should easily make it to 140 million, considering it's outpacing the PS2's sales at this point in the PS2's lifetime, and Nintendo still has another potential massive hit on their hands in the vitality sensor, that could give another lift for the console. I think by 2014 the Wii should have passed the PS2. This is provided Nintendo doesn't foolishly cut off the lifespan of their own console while it's still selling strongly. My prediction for lifetime sales for the Wii is in the ballpark of 140 million worst case scenario, and 180 million best case.
