Long and short; Where demand increases, is where supply gets diverted. Where demand decreases is where it comes from.

No, No, No. Shipping here and there more or less units just don work on a week by week basis. AND the demand in Europe is met. Thats just something a lot of people here on the board seem to forget. Europe has no supply problems on the Wii. You can get it everywhere, anytime. My guess is, that this so in all PAL countrys.

And i don't think that the Units in America are Japanese. I don't think you can change the production week by week. Those are units from the increased production. The drop off means most likely that the Wii will be starting to be availably in Japan, sharky is mentioning that it is not sold out anymore, and I believe that, at least for some regions or shops. 2 or 3 similar slow weeks and the Wii could finally be broadband available in Japan. That would leaves only America with supply problems and is it likely that the production increase goes right way to America. Seems that I was not so far of, with predicting the Wii sells 120 k at end of august/begin of September. And i expect much bigger shipment from week to week know for USA. So either the sales goes through the roof or the Wii is also beginning to be available in US at least till Christmas.
