@mrstickball: As I said, anyone who believes the Wii doesn't have supply issues should at the very least be able to produce some photos (or even accounts) of Wiis piling up at stores.

Really, such a sudden and big drop wouldn't happen in the course of a week, even if some factors were making Wii demand go down.

 

This is the heart of it.

When Wii stops selling as well as it is now -- and that will happen at some point in the history of mankind -- it will be a gradual but inevitable slowdown.

It will not suddenly and immediately start selling 50% as much on a week-by-week basis. Demand doesn't work that way. Sudden and precipitous sales changes are due to shipping; gradual and slow changes are due to  actual fluxuations in demand.

Consider the PS3 this week, for example. It sold 75% more this week than it did last week. OMG! PS3 demand is suddenly skyrocketing!
