2 mln. max in January.
3 mln. in rest 11 month.
Total 35 mln. + 19 mln. since 2008. = 54 mln. theoretical maximum for 2008.
But since PS3 has a great lineup this year + x360 will have some good games, that will take some potential buyers from wii. ps3/x360 pricecut also will do their job.  It was the same thing this year.  Xbox 360 had lots of great games, PS3 had some, too.  They both had price cuts as well.  Wii still sold more than double either of them, and more than both combined.  What's your point?
So unless intendo do a price cut and lose 50 mln. $ on every 1 mln. wii sold., they won`t reach over 50 mln. Where do you get the $50 lost per console with a price drop?  They are making about $80 profit per console right now--even if their situation required a $100 price drop (which it won't for a very long time) they would only be losing roughly $20 per system.+Nobody knows will they able to produce 3 mln. per month + how long will be demand.

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

 the 360 sold less in its second full year (2007) than it did in its first full year (2006) in terms of hardware.

 Wii isn't the PS3 or the 360, and I took your bet, check my sig

Where did you get this? From vgc: 2006 total 7,223,485 2007 total 8,178,632 Also the 360 had that rrod problem and all but still manage to sell a little bit more then his first year. If a console will sell less on it second year I really think that it'll more then likely be the PS3.
