Unlikely

that was the funniest part of this post. It's amazing that the DS is at nearly 260 million, in only 3 years.

Nintendo wants to do 300 million a year, not in 3 years.

currently playing: Desktop Tower Defense (PC), Puzzle Quest (DS), Trauma Center New Blood (Wii), Guitar Hero III (Wii), Ghost Squad (Wii), Actraiser (SNES), Donkey Kong County (SNES), The Legend of Zelda (NES), Kirby's Adventure (NES)

will play next: Paper Mario (N64), Golden Axe II (Sega), NiGHTS (Wii)

So the Wii will probably sell more than a billion in software in its lifetime. I wonder if publishers are taking notes.

??? It doesn't say that.

It only makes sense that way. Between them, GC and GBA had 600 million in lifetime software sales, so 300 million as a lifetime goal would be much too small. OTOH, this summer (April to September), Wii and DS had 100 million in software sales between them, so 300 million for a full year (including Christmas) seems to be a appropriately ambitious target for Nintendo.

Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
