It has only just hit me how ridiculous it is that the Wii is STILL sold out

Well the PS2 was in low supply for quite a while, not as bad as Wii. But if it had had a closer WW launch it may have been.... after all it was 7 months between Japan and American launch and a further ? months till PAL [2-4... I can't remember exactly]

And thats with only 2/3 of the systems being made. Edit... damnit, half the systems. wow. If PS2 was the record for the console produced fastest from launch then Wii has doubled that record!

Now you understand why I say 240,000,000 MINIMUM lifetime sales of Wii.

The sad fact of the matter is that doubling that record may be just the beginning. The worst case scenario is doubling but we could very well see a tripling, quadrupling, and maybe even a quintupling of PS2's lifetime sales.

Hahahahaha. Ok. My issue with this is you are assuming that high levels of wii sales (as we've seen for a little over a year) will continue for about 7-10 years, or about the ps2's entire lifespan. This is where your (and avanish's) arguments fall apart.
