Also if Nintendo started to pump 3.6 million wii's into the system it would not go unnoticed by sony and microsoft, i'm pretty sure they would react in someway, £100-£200 price cuts, throw money at third parties for big name exclusives, huge halo 3-esque advertising campaigns etc etc

 Hasn't hurt the Wii yet

 

don't forget, it is common practice to overproduce so that you have extra stock to shove down consumers throats during the holiday season when demand increases 2 to 4 times that non-holiday season. That's the whole reason that this holiday is so insane for wii, they couldn't stockpile at all.



so ask yourself not can wii sell 3.6M a month the entire year but can it sell 43.2M over an entire year? right now,... it probably could

 

I'm pretty certain the analyst was speaking in terms of average sales per month, not that it would be 3.6 exactly every month, I don't think anyone thought he meant the exact same number would be sold every month because no supply chain is that perfect
