I'd LOVE to see Ninty get aggressive with this - like they have never done before. I don't know if its possible, but producing 3m / month (say April + onwards) would change everything in the market.

I'm guessing average 2.2m-2.4m per month (April onwards) + 4m as forecast between Jan-March. That makes 24m-25m for the calender year, or close to 45m by end of '08 (basically my forecast).

Its also close to what the DS had at the end of year#2.

40m should be a given really.

If they can get production up to 3m post April - its 50m-55m.

I'll eat any amount of crow if they get within 3-4m of 60m!

 Like most, I can't see Nintendo bumping up production wildly agressively ie 100%+ in April to say, 4M a month, which is what would be needed.  A 50% followed by another 50% increase later would not do it.  

However, I think the prediction gets to be called 'pretty good' if sales are >53M at the end of the year.  Why?  Even the more optomistic ones are around 45M, off by 8M+ if 53M+ is reached.  JL would 'only' be off by 7M.  Closest one wins.  :)
