See the shipments for the end of September for Wii (I haven't updated it on the site yet) - add 5.4m to that figure (Oct / Nov / Dec) and you have a bare minimum produced by today. 2. Production is likely to be higher than 1.8m by now. |
I would love for production to be more than 1.8m but last I heard from Nintendo that was the level and they did not plan to increase it and I tend to prefer being conservative and be pleasantly surprised (like this week and last) than overbullish and disappointed by great numbers that are short of an even greater expectation.
I guess we will see in the coming weeks how much they sell on average and what they say about production levels in their next quarterly report.

And yet they still chose a game on the "pathetic" Wii for GOTY.

Yeah, he is already well under 5% with japan still to come so it is quite impressive.
I still wouldn't call the 60 millions a good chance though. 40 is almost guaranteed, 45-50 is a good chance if the production is already more than 1.8m a month and expecting another increase this summer but more than 55 millions or more is extremely unlikely still.

So you are aguing with youself then as YOU are GBallzack.
How do I come to this conclusion? You have a link to Gballzack in your sig and it goes to your profile, which is an implicit admission that you are her (or him or it whatever) 
I'm just kidding you but it is quite annoying to have people always accuse others to be GBallzack or Hus or Blue3 or whatever other ubertroll I can't think of right now.
Either a person's points are good and them being GballzackHus/Blue3/... won't make their point any less good or their point is crap and thus can be logically countered and them NOT being Gballzack/Hus/Blue3/... won't make their point any better.
In either case attacking them for supposedly being Gballzack and Co. is pointless and counterproductive and a good sign that you cannot defend your position as you feel the need to use a logical fallacy.

Because different people have different tastes so some will prefer the Wii with a PS3 or 360 as a second choice while others will prefer the 360 or the PS3 with the Wii as a second choice.
The Europe/Others sales are probably going to be the most interesting as last year Europe was the first territory not to be sold out of the Wii and thus its weakest one as well as being Sony's strongest one and it is one territory in which MS is not doing too well but still has a chance to do better (as opposed to japan where all hope is lost) so it probably will be the most interesting battleground in 08.
