Nintendo's current shipment estimates may be just the tip of the iceberg. According to Alex Gauna and Steven Chin, both analysts for investment firm UBS, Nintendo has already completed production on two million Wii consoles, and may have the capacity to build between seven to nine million more by the end of the calendar year--up to eleven million in total. That's over twice the as many consoles Nintendo is aiming for.
If this turns out to be true, i's almost assured that everyone in the world that wants a Wii this year won't have too much difficulty finding one. Of course, we'll have to see if Nintendo can actually sell those consoles at the same pace they are being constructed.
We will find out in six more weeks.

How much does an "analyst" get paid?
