"How badly does the firm think Sony will beat its competitors? The Yankee Group is forecasting that Sony will sell 30 million PS3s over the next five years in North America, attaining a 44 percent market share. It sees Microsoft coming in second with 27 million units, or a 40 percent market share, which it will attain by "put[ting] significant price pressure on Sony during the PS3's lifecycle." As for Nintendo, the company predicts the Wii will keep the same roughly 16 percent market share it currently holds by selling 11 million Wiis over five years."

That is really funny. They will sell at least 50 million Wiis over 5 years. |
Those numbers are quite amusing but realize that they are referring to North American sales only. The PS2 hasn't sold 50 million in ~7.3 years in North America. I'm not saying the Wii can't do 50m in NA alone in only 5 years but its far from an "at least" and much closer to a "would be lucky to".
