Damn, so September Wii will become Nintendo's most succesful console. Source, where do you see Wii shipments by Jan 1 2010?

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:

If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

So, let's say the Wii gets to 63 million by September (around how much the NES sold). By its birthday in mid-November, it would probably be at around 66 million. So that's an average of 22 million a year (:-O), and sales are INCREASING year-over-year. So, at this rate, Wii will be at 100 million at around 4.5 years old!

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Yeah I don't think its unrealistic to expect Wii to be at 72-78m shipped on Dec 31, 2009, and it could be as high as 80m shipped (35m shipped from Jan 1 2009 to Dec 31 2009 is what an 80m total would mean)

If they hit 51m on March 31, 2009 it probably isn't unreasonable to expect 58m by June 30, 2009, 64m by Sept 30, 2009, 76.5m on Dec 31, 2009 and then 83m on March 31, 2010.

I see them projecting ~28m Wiis for the year ending March 2010 and then ending up at 28-35m Wiis in the year ending March 2010.

Wii is tracking faster than DS from launch, so who knows maybe Wii will do 40m in its best year. To me though 28-35m is likely the peak year(s) for Wii.
