This does not make sense. The "Gamecube on steroids" comment is another way of saying "two Gamecubes duct-taped together," so if this was really what they were thinking they would have said that there were only 6 million Wiis in North America.
Here's the truth of the matter: Activision knows full well that there are roughly 33 million Wiis in North America. However, they are a third-party publisher, so what matters to them is how many games a system's userbase buys per year. We know that the Real Gaming Console, the 360, sells about nine gamers per console to its userbase. We also know that Wii gamers are casual gamers, and that casual gamers only buy one or two games with their system. Since Activision is being generous to Nintendo, on behalf of the obvious moneyhat, it's also counting Wii Sports as a game. That means Wii owners average three games for their system, i.e. one-third of what a real system gets.
Thirty-three million divided by three is...?
The extra million is for the additional consoles that will be sold between now and November.
My logic is irrefutable.
