2) As to the probability that such a blistering November could be followed by a 'poor' Christmas showing (in terms of a decrease of weekly sales): We hear each week how the American economy is in the tank, and I'd argue that those that are budget conscious - the average mainstream family - is probably cutting back. If this is the case, then the Wii would be the 1st place to go, I think. The 360 had the advantage of being cheaper + supply problems for the Arcade...It did phenominal given how much it's been getting beat by the Wii as of late.

So are you saying the Wii is not supply constrained any longer?

@Khuutra: Jan 22 for MS, Jan 29 for Sony/Nintendo. 

I believe that, given the immense number of consoles sold in November, it shouldn't be supply constrained by any noticible number of units.
