This WSJ article confirms 86 million Wiis sold through March 2011: http://www.simexchange.com/news-item.php?id=27686
With a new console launching next year, it is unlikely the Wii will meet the present forecast of 120 million units predicted by the GLS stock. I do see Nintendo continuing to stock the Wii and at ever more discounted prices, but that is unlikely to support another 50% increase in lifetime sales.

Is there a particular reason that with everybody's influence combined, we so far expect 5-week March to be slightly smaller for Wii than 4-week February?
It did go down from February to March in 2007, but that was a time when shipments were more uneven than now. And given that we're still in February, we're not much of a position to know that supply is down in March or something.
I never really thought of it like that. I equate the price drops below 4,500 to heavy investors selling out to restructure their portfolio, much like what happens to Diablo III, and Starcraft II occasionally.
In trading, that is what we would call "support." The Wii GLS stock has strong support at the 4,500 DKP level. When people see it fall to that price point they jump in to buy. The implication is that things are bad if it drops below 4,500 DKP b/c the people who usually think its a good buy there no longer do.
I am looking at this and I found 4,500 is the value the wii keeps coming back to. If this is true then the I am buying when it goes below that line. Wii (Wii) seems to hold it's value very well, so it is a good anchor if for a large % of your portfolio. Marbolo Man out.
The Best Buy ad this week advertised the Wii as being in stock, with a minimum of 12 per store. So it sounds like Nintendo has been able to keep up supply.
