For the first few years of its time on the market, 200m actually seemed doable, if unlikely. Nintendo literally couldn't keep it on the shelves for like 3 straight years. It was insane. However, it fell off sharpy in its 4th and 5th years, which led to it falling in at about half that number. |
Yep Wii first couple of years made it seem 200M was possible. So we shouldn't mock anyone making 200M at the time (PS2 reached 160M with a slower start). But people said JohnLucas kept his prevision even while Wii was being taken out of the market.
