I dont believe Nintendo was intentionally resticting supply, I think they just did not realize how huge the Wii would be... especially after the Cube. In cmas 07 the Wii could have sold millions more had the supply been there, I doupt Nintendo would risk people deciding to get the 360 arcade instead if they had a choice.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
