If DS can do 500K in Japan month in and month out for over a year, then Wii can do 1M a month in America.
I first thought a 1M regular month was probable after seeing March sales over 700K. After April matching March with one week less, I think it is inevitable. The first chances Wii will have at the mark are June and September this year, which I believe are both 5 week months.
And then next year, 2009, they will probably take several months to straighten out supply again, and starting in March, have the potential to sell 1M units month in and month out all the way through December.
As for 2M and 3M in the holiday months, that should be taken for granted now. As long as Nintendo can supply 3M units this December, they will sell that many. What would really be impressive is 2M in November and 4M in December, and what I really want to see is a 5M December.
