Well I don't mean to burst your bubble but Wii likely outshipped Xbox 360 by a 2:1 factor in the quarter ending Dec 2008 (12m to 6m), even though the average Xbox 360 only costs 20% more than Wii now in the USA, and costs less on average than Wii in almost every worldwide market. That 2:1 is a pretty similar margin to last year. As 360 gets cheaper, Nintendo increases Wii supply and so far that has allowed Wii to keep up the sales ratios, and the same is true with Wii vs PS3.
As for 2b being impossible...I dont think of it as an attach rate of 8 on 250m Wiis. But I could see an attach rate of 10 on 200m Wiis, or 12 on 166m Wiis. Again, Wii sw attach rates have been (as low as 1.5x, and as high as 3x) but on average double DS sw attach rates at respective times from launch. The DS attach rate has been increasing almost non-stop for over 4 years now, so if you believe Wii is a similarly disruptive product it should get to a 9-12 attach rate on how ever many consoles it sells. An ~8.5 attach rate seems likely by the time Wii is at 80m units if you follow the chart I put in the Offical Big 3 Quarterly/Annual Shipments to Date & Projections Thread abd that will be just ~three years in from launch.
