Looking at the table, how far up can the Wii get?

Obviously, none of the consoles below it has a chance of passing it. Meanwhile GBA and PS1 (8M and 29M behind respectively) will both be outsold (most probably) by the Wii. What are the chances it can outsell the GB, DS or PS2?

Wii vs GB

Americas: GB/Wii difference = 9.54M (GB)
EMEEA: GB/Wii difference = 13.76M (GB)
Japan: GB/Wii difference = 21.85M (GB)

WW: GB/Wii difference = 45.15M (GB)

Wii vs DS

Americas: DS/Wii difference = 14.09M (DS)
EMEEA: DS/Wii difference = 25.4M (DS)
Japan: DS/Wii difference = 20.42M (DS)

WW: DS/Wii difference = 59.91M (DS)

Wii vs PS2

Americas: PS2/Wii difference = 17.72M (PS2)
EMEEA: PS2/Wii difference = 33.08M (PS2)
Japan: PS2/Wii difference = 12.65M (PS2)

WW: PS2/Wii difference = 63.45M (PS2)

Do you think the Wii will be able to outsell (LT) any of these platforms WW or in separate regions?

I expect Wii to be 4th by Spring 2012 when it tops 105M or so and DS to top PS2 later this year when it hits the 137M mark or so to claim 1st place.

Looks Wii will be the top selling system in EMEAA at least.

In Japan its way way behind PS2 though

Wii will never outsell DS but it's bound to outsell GBA around end of November to December.

I think the Wii will finish up in 4th place on that list.

Too lazy to bother thinking about regions.

Wii should pass the GBA no problem. It will probably also outsell PS1, but it really needs to get going in Japan again. We'll have to see what Vitality Sensor will do. I think it's pretty safe to say at this point Wii won't pass DS or PS2, unless Nintendo keeps riding out the Wii for another 5 years or so like Sony is trying to do with the PS3.
