That's a fabulous find; I am so saving this PDF for future use.
One quick thing that jumps out: Nintendo's net sales hit the 500 billion yen mark in 1991, and then pretty much stayed in that general region (between 400-600 billion yen) for the next 15 years. Net sales then doubled in 2007, and almost doubled again in 2008! That should give you a good idea of just how remarkable the company recent growth has been... aside from the $2.5 billion in profit turned last year, of course.
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
