Wii production increased to 2.4M (!) monthly ... was that really from an official Nintendo report though or some market analysts?

I think that may have been a Bloomberg report actually, but if you consider Nintendo projects estimates conservatively and that they've projected 25M for the FY...well 1.8m monthly and accounting for the time to increase production its a safe estimate of about 2.2m. Like I said its a rough estimate and it definitely reflects where I think things are headed so it may well be flawed, as am I.
It's tough to predict sales in three years time, anything could happen. But I think those predictions are quite reasonable. Here is my rough estimate:
Wii: 110 million
Xbox: 45 million
PS3: 55 million
I'll play it conservatively for Wii and more middle of the road for the other two.
Wii - ~100 million
PS3 - ~48 million
X360 - ~45 million

It was only Satoru Iwata mentioning it, so it is hardly a reliable source...
You can find it here btw:

The exact quote was: "To achieve these goals, we are preparing for a Wii production increase so that our monthly Wii hardware production capability will reach 2.4million units in July this year."

Aah thats where I saw it. I remembered it being something like that but couldn't find it. Good work!~
Wii: 110 Million -130 Bazillion (Depending on whether Wii Fit gets on Oprah)
PS3: 49-56 Million
X360: 45-52 Million
One thing that is a total wildcard is how well the Wii does when it's released in China.

Hah, good one. What if she loves Halo Wars?
I think Wii and 360 prediction is right. PS3 is a little high. 50-60 million for PS3 would be my guess.

His PS3 numbers are lower than yours and his are a little high?
