The GC figure was big only because Nintendo had already claimed that if the Wii should sell less in it's life time than the GC, they would consider it a failure.
Wonder if this means they'll stop making Wii's.
The figures look very odd though, I'd guess their monthy demand curve would be matched at 2.4 million on supply.
That would mean they would have to produce 2.6 million each month and over stock to about 4 million within the period of a merchant holiday.
In otherwords that's their supply curve. Unless demand is going up even faster than what I'm seeing. Then I don't know =( Lifes funny.
