Sky Render on 26 December 2007
If production remains 1.8 million a month and demand remains unmet, 2008 will see 21.6 million more Wiis produced, minimum. Assuming 10% stockpiling per month average between January and November (quite a normal tactic), that would mean that most weeks we should see around 400,000 consoles sold worldwide. Again, this is assuming both constant production rates and demand not being met. 2007 is likely to end around 18.66 to 18.75 million Wiis, meaning 40.26 to 40.35 million consoles total sold by the end of 2008 under such conditions. That's almost 20 million short of Lucas' prediction. It's also borderline worst-case scenario and assumes a completely stagnant production schedule.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
