Id say if by the end of this yea being from last weeks date marking the 25 million Nintendo has the intention of hitting 40 million which will leave more than 10 million Wii's unaccounted for. My guess is this is the year they test the market to see how rapid the growth of the Wii can be, should Nintendo sell through and the millions/billions they're pouring into Wiifit be worth it in the long term.

Then potentially Wii could hit 50 million by April 2009. If what happens at E3 is the unveiling of this new tech that we already have in the Wii. (Old tech used in a new way.) Then Nintendo may be looking to not choose in the fork but go all directions.
If both of these things work out for them it would be double the current install base in a year >.>
That's what I know... but I wish I knew the Sony and Microsoft numbers off the top of my head.
The worst case scenario is that they still don't find the demand curve due to the overwhelming success they enough by being 2 steps ahead of Microsoft.
Some people are dumb though I mean I was dealing with a guy who was convinced Nintendo was the kiddy game department of Microsoft.
He wasn't joking nor do I believe he was a Fanboy, he legitimatly believed Nintendo = Microsoft and that Sony was it's own other thing.
