It would be awesome if Wii reached 60 million by the end of 2008.

You should just find a different Calendar that would make things within the one year time frame.

 Yes, talk about not being able to admit failure. Seriously John, there's no shame in admittance, especially when you were tihis close...

 Considering we don't know how many of the 20.13 million were actually in the supply chain at midnight december 31st, I would hesitate to say whether he missed it or not, point is even if he did he came amazingly close far better than so called professional analysts don't you agree?

 I agree it was close enough to be uncanny, but everyone is calling it a full spot on bullseye, which has yet to be proven. So hats off to being criminally close, but hats on to those who go "Teh flawless win" ceaselessly.

John Lucas's final smash would be a flood of Wii's entering the stage and pushing everyone else off the edge to their doom

^^ LOL :)

I'd LOVE to see Ninty get aggressive with this - like they have never done before. I don't know if its possible, but producing 3m / month (say April + onwards) would change everything in the market.

I'm guessing average 2.2m-2.4m per month (April onwards) + 4m as forecast between Jan-March. That makes 24m-25m for the calender year, or close to 45m by end of '08 (basically my forecast).

Its also close to what the DS had at the end of year#2.

40m should be a given really.

If they can get production up to 3m post April - its 50m-55m.

I'll eat any amount of crow if they get within 3-4m of 60m!

 I'm still not sold on the idea that they can even break 42m...but thats one prediction I wouldn't mind being wrong about. Should be fun to watch things.
