I think the reasoning is that the customers are different. The people looking for it today are fans who will buy it no matter what however the Christmas customer is not a fan at all. If the Christmas customer doesnt see a Wii on a shelf they will simply never buy one or worse buy a competitors console. The fans will buy it regardless so even if they dont get one by Christmas they will buy it next year. The result is you make sales to people outside your regular customer base.
