greenmedic- you look at sales to linearly. If we went by your logic, then we could predict every sales with 100% accuracy. I suggest fir you look at my last post and then if you can rebutt that. Otherwise I really don't see what you are trying to get at.
Nextly you act as if demand can be measured. Not to mention act like it can be a constant. This is silly. Demand flucates just like other things, not to mention is almost impossible to measure. But its not hard to tell when things are on high demand and when things aren't on high demand.
Another thing you assume is that if Nintendo stops selling out, they won't keep increasing shipments, or possibly even decrease shipments. This is silly. Shipment rates don't match sales rates. There is always a noticeably lag. Throughout the main part of the year companies normally like to have 90% sell through percentages. In holiday season that is normally let slip to 85% depending on how popular the product is. But if the product of course is in high demand they'll ship more but the sell through rate will be higher as more or buying it.
Point is though Nintendo is not only going to be trying to outstrip demand, but also due to that high demand they'll obtain that 90% sell through and possible less due to its high demand. Meaning if they stuck at 1.8 million a month, that'd be impossible to achieve. I mean maybe in some areas at that rate they'd be able to outstrip it, but come holiday season they'd be in massive shortages. This theory is silly. Production will have to go up and then possibly another time just to help stock more for the holiday season.
I mean you mock people for defending Nintendo acting as if its out of fanboyism, but the most logical reasoning is that of an increased production rate. And actually what you suggest can only be made possible if Wii demand just starts immediately going down and staying down, which is a more fanboyistic thought out of them all.
I suggest you look at trends, previous numbers, and take in the logical facts and then come back with a more wellthough out arguement.
