@Reverie: I try to provide links, if i can found them.
But what we know so far, is that Nintendo shipped 5,84M units by the end of march 07, quotes Xyrax posted tell us, that 3M of them was manufactured in 07, so that basically leaves 2,84 million Wiis manufactured in 06.
Nintendos target was 2M available at launch (i try to find the quote), which makes 840k for the rest of the year, meaning about 550k monthly rate.
I think it was Iwata, who said that they planned 500k production, but after E3, they decided to ramp it up (find you the quote). That, by the way is pretty close to that 5 months, that Harrison said, assuming that the ramp up happened in december. Also someone at IBM said, before launch, that they manufacture Broadways at 500k monthly rate (and the quote).
But, i find you some links. I marked the quotes i need to find for me, so that i remember them. :)
