Its obviously a supply issue IMO. You find me someone in Japan who can walk into a store, and easily pick up a Wii. Even a single report of that would make huge news - and it hasn't happened.
1/ Diversion to the US (funny how US weekly figures have gone up by about the same amount that Japan has gone down).
2/ Stockpiling for Xmas.
Don't forget that the reversed happened for MP8/DQS - US units were diverted to Japan. Makes sense that Ninty would do this whenever there is a big release in any territory.
Galaxy launches in *only* 6 weeks. If hardware doesn't go up for that week, I think you can call it a supply issue ;)
