I think that's the most any console has sold in one year and likely the most any console will ever sell in one year which is impressive, but when looking at the overall big picture, that one year represents almost 25% of the console's lifetime sales, which really just illustrates that demand for the Wii was spurred by broader demographics that lost interest in the product after 2010.
The 24m must have been for 2009 as sales for 2010 were about 17m, followed by 11.5m in 2011 which represents a pretty sharp drop off and a an extremely fast peak.
Playstation consoles have all trended differently, making 10 year + production cycles viable.
