Preorders skyrocket some more after all this to 60 million just before launch…

Nintendo uses all this growth to put Wii into massive production and they reach a price point per console of about $85(average about $130 including early production) while selling them at $200, or 175 in unit's of 1000 to stores. Nintendo continues to sell the console at $200 for about 6 months reaching the 120 million console mark and then drops the price to $150(130 to stores). Sales surge to 180 million to close out the year… Nintendo becomes the most highly valued company in the world, with 386 million Wii in homes around the world, beloved by all except a few staunch PS3 supporters who are just too upset about spending $600 on a console that dies after 4 months.
