people here never understands that Ninty saying Wii will sell 50 million worldwide during the fiscal year, not during this year, the fiscal year didnt start till the month of April it will end in March. So during the fiscal year in just three months Wii sold almost 30 million already, thats a accomplishment. Not including the christmas seasons and the Wiis are still sold out so Ninty can pass the 50 million Wiis easily...

 

um.. did nintendo actually say that, or are you guessing that they did? .. seems very irrational to be coming from nintendo

 

Nintendo is officially expecting 49.45m units shipped through the end of March 09. Those are official estimates, and all companies have official estimates. By most accounts historical and practical, Nitendo's estimates are conservative. That means they most likely guessed low in order to not look foolish if they don't sell the amount they really believe they will sell, which is approximately 1-5 million units higher than their public official estimation for stockholders.

 

In other words, expect 50-55 million Wii's sold by April 09, and believe me, Nintendo is really good at "guessing," lol.

i know they are conservative.. i just couldn't remember that particular number ever being said, and was referring to yushire guessing, not nintendo, i know that if they say they'll ship that many, they'll ship more
