In 1945, IBM estimated the world demand was about 5 computers.

I really would like to see the end of people perpetuating this urban myth. What Watson had said was they expected to sell 5 machines on that particular sales junket.

Granted, these days there's not likely a market for 5 ***IBM*** machines worldwide.
