If you add the Wii together with the DS, Nintendo is shipping 3+ million hardware units each month. No game company has ever sustained that level of production before. Give them some credit for that at least.
They could ship 40-50 million units this fiscal year. That is simply unprecedented.
Anyways, they've increased production by 500k in about 4 months. That means by the holidays they could be up to 2.5 million a month. That would put them on track to easily beat 20 million for the fiscal year, well above their initial estimate of 14 million.
