Simply put, they're being sold to people's homes.
Here's a launch-aligned chart from this site comparing the Wii to the PS2 (the next nearest competitor. You'll notice that it's a big gap, and growing...

I'd also add that expecting Wal-Marts in small towns to get large shipments is unrealistic: those go to the big cities, where the majority of customers live. Isn't that how you would do it?
Having answered your question, I now must ask that you please answer mine.
