7-9 Million Wiis by 2007?

Gamespot is reporting that Nintendo's production of the Wii is actually going better than expected. Analyst firm UBS is now estimating that 7-9 Million Wii units should be off the production lines by 2007. From the article: "Citing industry 'checks,' UBS analysts Alex Gauna and Steven Chin claim that Nintendo already made 2 million Wiis by the end of September. They go on to predict that, 'at least 7 million and potentially as high as 9 million more units are in the build plan for Q4 06. This production ramp handily exceeds a publicly announced target for 6 million units to ship by year's end.'"

Wait, I dont understand your logic. I know four people who are getting a Wii. Assuming that everyone in the US (300 million) knows 4 people who are getting a Wii then thats 1200?

Yup. For lack of knowing the population of the the UK I did totally miss the joke. My fault for catching a friend's gig last night and then trying to teach today. Just a little brain-dead in some ways.

Funny (chuckling): Whew! You had me going there, I thought - you know - maybe you were really going to try to prove a point, and we just don't need to show we're unfun-HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY SUBMITTED A POST HOW COULD YOU?

Hello, kettle? This is the pot... ;-)

Funny: We are *never* going to get laid.

My girlfriend might disagree with that... at least if I can keep my foot-in-mouth-itis in check.
