Steven, do you have any reports on how Nintendo's launch will fair? Probably not much being said about it yet as a launch date hasn't even been confirmed, but any ideas who they'll be looking in terms of units available?

A year on it's more than likely that MS will have plenty of 360's this Christmas, but if Nintendo can get enough Wii's into shops, I think they'll have a jolly good Christmas.

how are Sony going to be able to stick to their estimation of 6 miilion units shipped by March 2007?

Well as the Jap financial year runs from April to March they have untill the end of March to get them out so that's 0.5 mill devided between the US and Japan in november and 5.5 million for the EU lanch in March?

For Nintendo I forsee no such problems, the hardware is readily available since its at least 1-3 years old and so should be no problem for Nintendo .
