I do not believe it could sell 3.6 million every month out of the year. During Christmastime and Black Friday (Nov/Dec) Then yeah. But during march or april when no games are coming out (I don't mean nothing's coming out that month, just during the early part of the year when games USUALLY don't get released) it won't sell that many per month. I'd put money on that.

 Every month no, becuase no supply chain could be 100% efficient, 3.6 million on average or around 43 million a year on the other hand would be possible

43 million next year being possible is laughable.  No offense.  You are entitled to your opinion, but you mean to say that the Wii will sell 250% of what it will sell this year.  That is very very unlikely.  I think it could easily sell 2.5 million a week, but doubling production and barely meeting demand is implausible.

 Why not PS2 and DS sales both rose in their second year by over a factor of two

Exactly.  2.5 is more than two.  Also, it's not just like they can say in January "We're going to double production today to 3.6 million/month"  that takes time.  So this is not only unlikely, and hasn't happened before, it's also impossible :(

 Ah, but I wasn't arguing whether Ninty can increase to 3.6 million a month production, just whether they can sell that much and judging by the PS2 and DS rises in their second year (both selling more than twice what they sold in their first year) its within the realm of reality, now they won't be able to make that much likely but if they could they would probably sell them all by the end of next year
