you are missing some things, the most important of which are that ipv6 is supposed to last for DECADES and all computers behind nat should get their public ips (that is what someone suggested earlier).
those are two by far the most important things you ommited from your calculation, others are some ips won't be availible to ''average'' human beings (private ip ranges, broadcast adresses, router adresses...), also enterprise will grab crapload of ips for business needs.

But if there are forexample 6 billion people on earth. They could each have 2^128-2^33=2^95 ip adresses. 2^95 = 39.614.081.257.132.168.796.771.975.168 I think i can cope a year or two before i i need more than that. :)
