Well the main problem with these analysts is that they look and use previous sales records of the consoles. By using the past numbers they try to make "intelligent assumptions" as to what numbers to forecast. By following the trend of the two previous generations they come up with these numbers.
Only the thing is the Wii isnt your standard console it went totally against the flow thus trully disrupting the industry trends. Thus totally goofy looking assumptions by analysts.
Gotta admire Nintendo for having the balls to go through with their project even though they see these analysis'
