The only thing keeping Nintendo from hitting 60 mil this year would be production as they would have to bump up to 3 million+ per month this year, now I can see that happeneing next year but this year I think production will top out at 2.5-2.7 in the months leading up to the holidays, so I would say Wii sales will top out around 44-48 million by the end of the year, merely because I don't see Nintendo ramping up fast enough to hit 40 produced in this year, however I do expect sales in 2009 and 10 to be around 70 to 90 million for the two years combined
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
