how many wii's sold so far in 2012?

1.5m

Around 5-6m for the year, I'd say. Absolutely horrible drop

We're over half way through the year, and the holidays are going to be focused around the Wii U.  They'll be lucky to sell any more than 4m by the end of the year.  And I figure they'll be selling half as much as the year before from then on.  It may very well take several years for the Wii to hit 105m total sales, which makes it all the more possible for PS3 to be in a legitimate race to that number.

In their defense, Wii generally sells well during the holidays so it might just squeeze 5.5m or so.

Wii usually DID, but there's a new console coming out that renders it obsolete.  With the Wii U coming out, there's little-to-no reason to buy it.  Sales will drop significantly due to that, and the upcoming price drops/redesigns from Sony and Microsoft, respectively.
