Yeah, if things keep up JL's prediction will be close.

I still say that if things stay the same, Wii will be around 43-47m at the end 2008.

Let's see: 19m or so by Jan 2008.
1.8m / month for 6 months.
2.5m / month for 6 months. (I think Nintendo will increase production again by mid year.

1.8 * 6 = 10.8m
2.5 * 6 = 15m

so, 19 + 10.8 + 15 = 44.8m.

I am probably under estimating how much Nintendo will increase production by, but, that is how I am seeing things so far.

Thats providing Nintendo manages to continue selling every Wii they make. Not improbable with the way things are going, but to keep demand like that up for 2 years running will be insane.

 At this point I don't know if it's much more insane than keeping this kind of demand up for 2 christmas seasons in a row.  That is pretty screwy in and of itself, but if it continues to snowball I don't know how much more of a stretch it is to see it lasting through next winter as well, especially if some of these new games coming out in 2008 live up to the hype.
