Looks my prediction of Wii about 83.3M end of year looking likely.

Wii already has 84 Million doesn't it?

Actually shipping 84M is looking likely now, but according to this Wii will be over-tracked by about 800K in US.

I put an article up on this...but roughly speaking:
DS topped 8m again in the USA for the fourth year in a row - easily a record.
Wii topped 7m again in the USA for the third year in a row. Since they didn't say "over 8m", you can take the range as 2.3m - 3.3m in the USA for Dec, as 3.3m would bring the Wii total to > 8m in 2010. Last year Nintendo said "over 3m Wiis in the USA in Dec" and NPD (for the USA) said 3.81m, and we had 3.5m for the USA.
DS > PS2 in the USA by 1-2m units lifetime (47m-48m to 46m roughly), as DS needed 2.2m to reach 47m, but since it didn't reach 48m, it sold less than 3.2m. Nothing else (GBA, GB, PS1, NES) is particularly close to DS / PS2 right now, although Wii has more than enough left to get to 45m and beyond eventually. I don't see why Wii couldn't do 6m-7m in 2011 with a price cut in the USA to $150 for instance. That would put it at 41m. Cut to $130 in 2012 and they're at 45.5m. Gets to something like 48.5m in 2013, 50.5m in 2014 at $100, 51.5m in 2015, and 52m in 2016.
Wii is anywhere from 20-23 months ahead of the PS2 pace based on the stated range above in the USA.

Does this mean that VGC is overtracking the Wii in America?
"When we look ahead to 2011, we see new portable technology and more great Wii games that need to be seen to be believed."
This part makes me happy and gets me excited to see what Nintendo has for 2011 on Wii! I have been reading that many people think Wii won't have much for 2011 due to the 3DS but this reassures me that Wii has more to come as well...I am personally hoping for both Pikmin 3 and Vitality Sensor for 2011.
I don't see how they will survive through this year without a redesign, they've bundled their way out of existance and it barely made an impact. I don't think dropping the price is gonna help too much either.

Are you serious?

Nope.
Above: still the best game of the year.

Barely made any impact? Surely having the second/third best December month any home console has ever had after dropping to record lows is some impact.
Besides, Nintendo can cut the price so low that it'll have to help, xD.
