People shopping for Wiis right now are less likely to give up and get another item/console than people who shop during X-mas BECAUSE they are not shopping for themselves and they are on a timer. 

Consoles sold as presents are more likely to be set up with lots of aunts and uncles around and as everyone has pointed out numerous times the Wii sells itself when people try it. 

Shortages during X-mas will reach the mass public, shortages during summer are a blip on the news radar. 

If you want to disagree with the impact of these reasonings that is fine, I won't go into that with you. But to say there is no reason to do this is just plain false.


This is true. Xbox360 sold ALOT more than it should have, last winter. The only huge release was Gears of War (I think).... The Wii was basically sold out starting November 19th, 2006, and it continues to this day. That changed alot of peoples minds about which console to buy (gotta play something!)
