Nintendo has increased its sales estimates on its Wii console from earlier predictions of 25 million, saying it now expects to sell 26.5 million units this year. The firm did the same for its DS handheld unit, upping its outlook from 28 million to 30.5 million. The higher sales and the improving dollar enabled Nintendo to raise its profit forecast 26% to $3.8 billion, a 60% increase from a year earlier.
