The Wii is anything but an impulse buy.
When GameStop employees have to deal with about 10 calls a day and another 10+ walk-ins every day looking for them, that is not a impulse thing to do. People are putting actual effort into looking for them.
And the return/sell back rate of the Wii is next to none which is another sign of a Non-impulse buy item.
I don't get how anyone can think that the Wii is a impulse buy.
As for what this topic is actually about, The drop is only due to Nintendo letting out a limited number of Wiis, Yes they are stockpiling. And they do release more Wii units out into the wild with every major new release. Expect to see a lot of Wiis come the MP3 release.
