Nintendo reached a major sales milestone earlier this month as the DS topped the 100 million mark in worldwide sales. Now it's Wii's turn.
Nikkei reports today that the Wii will cross the 50 million mark some time this month. With just four business days remaining in the month (three if you don't count Monday) that means we can probably expect an announcement of some form over the next few days.
This news shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Nintendo's own forecasts from early January suggested the 50 million mark would be crossed before the end of the fiscal year.
The Wii is the fastest selling console ever. The PS2 took just under three years to reach the 50 million mark, according to the Nikkei report. The Wii hasn't even been avaialble for two and a half years.

DSi shows no sign of letting up in Japan. The latest sales milestone for the system is the two million mark, which Famitsu publisher Enterbrain announced today was reached over the week ending March 22.
The DSi now has a userbase of 2,024,431 units in Nintendo's home territory, where it launched in November of last year.
While Enterbrain did not share sales totals for last week, it appears that the release of three new color variations helped push the DSi over the top. It's also likely that the DSi managed to retake the top hardware sales spot following three weeks of PS3 and PSP dominance. We'll have weekly sales figures on Friday.
The DS platform has a whole crossed a major milestone as well over the week. Enterbrain reports total sales of 26,083,985 units for the system. Of this, the original DS and DS Lite account for, respectively, 6,449,206 and 17,610,348 units.
