Nobody can call Nintendo head Satoru Iwata a underachiever. He knows what he wants and he knows just how to get it:

What we are looking at are the cumulative Wii and DS sales through the end of 2008. Wii has been selling at industry’s record pace so far, and with new customers acquired by the gaming population expansion efforts, it is not impossible for Wii’s total sales to exceed the final install base of PS2. Wii still has much more room for expansion. We can expect more sales of software in the next fiscal year than in the current year. With what kind of software is Nintendo going to achieve this goal? Well, it will be shown at E3 to be held in the U.S. this June.

The Wii has sold just under 40 million units since it launched in November 2006. The PS2 has sold 140 million as of last July, and it’s still going after almost 9 years on the market. It should be interesting to see what Nintendo has planned for E3, especially after last year.
