Projected Nintendo Wii Sales

At gameonion, we really do not like to speculate.

Now that that is out of the way, allow us to speculate. According to this article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16115967/, the Wii sold 600,000 consoles in the first 8 days after launch. At first, we were not impressed. But then our science department decided to work out the numbers to see where the Wii will stand over time. This is when our jaws dropped.

Normally when reading console sales projections, one realizes they are just guesses. Unless you have a graph to back you up. Which we do.

By December of 2012, there will have been 139,800,000 Wiis sold. Not impressed yet? That is in the state of Pennsylvania alone. Worldwide, the sales will be about 985,564,462,000,165 consoles. Of course these are not counting black market sales.
