There's still no good measurement for how high demand still is for the Wii.

I have only ever saw one console on a store shelf, in the US still, and it was in the middle of being sold. I'm still in the market for one, just like a lot of my friends.

If you sell out a console, no matter what the area, it doesn't necessarily mean you're losing base support. It could be that simple answer of less being available - and a few people hit it right on, worldwide sales are up.

The Wii isn't even supply constrained in 2/3's of the world (Europe, Japan) at this point.

 Typical holiday sales for consoles are 10 times or larger than other time frames, especially summer seasons.

While demand in summer is down, I highly doubt the Wii will be meeting demand come December.
