leo, i will tell u why we think wii will sell over 41mil by 12/31/08 (at bare minimum):
Nintendo stated they had shipped 20mil wiis by 12/31/08
Nintendo stated they are making 1.8mil wiis/month
1.8mil*12+20mil=41.6mil
some will be in pipeline, but similiarly some were in pipeline last year, so 21.6mil sales this year is a good number if they don't increase production at all
so all u have to do to predict 41mil sales is to believe that all the consoles will get sold by the holidays...so they don't have to sell out this month or next...just by holidays
to predict 45+mil like i and others do, u just have to believe nintendo will increase production this spring in order to make those extra 3.4mil consoles
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)
