PS2 has already done it. Does anybody really believe that 1.24 billion pieces of software have been shipped through March, but that 1 billion haven't been sold-through to customers? And if you actually believe that, do you further believe that the billion mark won't be reached in the next 18 months through large ongoing shipments and massive retailler discounts to clear stock?
There's no reason Wii can't repeat the feat. They could get over 5% of the way there just from Wii Sports and Wii Play.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
