Notes:

Microsoft's fiscal year runs July 1 - June 30

Nintendo & Sony fiscal years run April 1 - March 31

Wii shipment projections (from Nintendo) for the 12 months ending 3.31.2008 were 14 million then 16.5 million then 17.5 million, now 18.5 million. PS3 shipment projections (from Sony) for the same period were 11 million and are currently 9.5 million. Microsoft, to my knowledge, did not make projections.
