@feelmyring, I'm surprised they're as high as they are. Second and third place systems of previous generations got nowhere near 40 million, yet simExchange currently has both above 50 million. Is X360 doing better than Xbox? Yes. Is it doing so much better I'm yet convinced it will end having sold 140% more? Not yet. Is PS3 doing better than GameCube? Not really. So why yet think it will more than double GameCube's total sales? Yet Wii _is_ doing better than previous systems that have sold 100 million, so why think it won't get there too?
One can certainly claim "Wii will fall off, X360 and PS3 will pick up.", but it's been over a year now, and there are no indications of change in the near future. Halo 3 comes out, Wii sales rise. X360 and PS3 have price drops, Wii doesn't and still outsells them. Wii graphics continue being as much worse as they were on day one, it continues at a record pace.
Apujanata, by the end of 2002 Sony had _shipped_ 49.59 million PS2s. Remember, though, in its first year of 2000 it launched earlier than Wii did in its first year of 2007. Going by the shipment data, PS2 appears to have reached 35 million sometime around July 2002.
