LOL wow at the people that think this is impossible :-S
MS expect to ship 5 million over the next 8 weeks alone ...
they'll do that again next christmas with it's inevitable price cut ($99/£99 making it much more attractive)
Say it only manages 3 mill next Jan-Oct .. (again very low estimate ...) we're already up to 13 million by end of 2011.
and 20 mill is virtually impossible how?

Nintendo expects to surpass PS2.
Sony expects to become #1 on console race (again).
"expect" isn't a fact, its just what they want. But doesn't means it would become reality.
OT: Its possible. I don't think it would sell 20mill in 1 year, but maybe with 3 or 4 years.

Links please.
Companys "expecting" something like outselling the PS2 ect is a long term thing, MS expecting (actually they know they're going to ship 5 mill over the next 8 weeks, is a much more immediate and easy thing to predict.

Like I said before, expect (at long or short term) doesn't a fact.

Very little is fact, the likely hood of it not passing 5 mill shipped, when they said this 2 weeks ago and know how many they're shipping for the holiday, mean's it's not even worth debating. Heck I bet it's now FACT they will ship 5 mill for the holiday, not sold btw.
The Nintendo prediction was 2007, a lot has happened since then. The PS3 link is in another language so I can't comment on that. You can't compare long term to short term in terms of predictions.
