Possibly, but at the time, the parts of the iPod were still very rare. Much rarer than any part of the Wii, actually.

Nintendo never ceases to amaze me.... I am glad for them, they have stayed the course making TOP quality videogames for 25 years and now are finally being rewarded.

I usually agree with your posts, but this one is purely guesswork (which is fine, as long as you don't end it with a claim like that one).
My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957
I am not shocked - but was ROTFL when parents contacted me the week before Christmas and asked me how they could land a wii.
My response? At gunpoint, with some crackeads or a brick.

That's a complete guess. We have no idea what the current level of demand really is, or how demand would have been affected by the existance of more Wiis.
The Wii sells itself, remember -- when people try it, they buy it. More Wiis = more "word of mouth" (and "try it to buy it") marketing. Perhaps Nintendo could have sold twice as many in the US if they were available.
No one knows. All estimates are really guesses, educated or not. It looks to me like you simply said, "eh, it could've sold maybe 20% more."
The DS' demand is insane, but the Wii's demand levels have surpassed it everywhere but in Japan for the same time frame. And in Japan, it's close.
It is a truly interesting situation, the wii has more demand than any console i've ever witnessed.
Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

What I find even funnier is - folks on craigslist flagging Wii ads down that are scalpers. It's a hoot. I love how the folks that flag the ads down then TAUNT the scalpers. It's hella funny to watch ...

Sorry Wo, that's a guess at best
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
