Don't know, since it seems possible he may have been closer than we thought, then again maybe not


He is as close as someone who predicted 16 - 19 million as for 31th December 2007.

"Also is it 20.13 or 20.19 because 14.29 + 3.20 (for Q3 FY 2006) +2.70(Q4 FY 2006) is equal to 20.19"

It's 20.13M. All the other figures are rounded off, so adding them up results in less accuracy.

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Yeah the difference between NPD and NA shipped seems a bit large

Also is it 20.13 or 20.19 because 14.29 + 3.20 (for Q3 FY 2006) +2.70(Q4 FY 2006) is equal to 20.19

I may be wrong, but I'd assume that Nintendo is counting the rainchecks as sold units, which would probably account for most of the difference.

It's 20.13. Q3 FY 2006 shows 3.19 and FY 2006 showed 5.84 meaning Q4 FY 2006 was 2.65

 EDIT: Also on the rounding thing, I believe they always round down below the measurement amount(millions of yen, tens of thousands of units), so if anything the numbers added together would be higher.

 Well in shipments, yes, but were the sales close enough, it seems VGC is closer than NPD (but i'm biased)
