Every year, the Wii has huge shortages in January, they usually ran out of consoles in December. Nothing surprising except the huge amount that was in stock to begin with.

except in the previous years there were shortages leading up into November/December. This year there were no shortages from around March on. Had Nintendo not cut their production this year there wouldn't be any shortages (well, unless they managed to sell another 1-2m in December)

There was no shortages in December unlike years before when Ebay was the best place to find one. Unlike the analyst, I expect huge numbers for January for the Wii because of continued sales well into the end of this month which is the cause of the shortage.
