@Soriku: There are a lot of Nintendo followers out there, not everyone buys the Wii instantly after launch. And for example, these Nintendo fans you talk about might have been waiting for X game to get released and the buy their console. Plus big HW sales happened last year along big releases because Wii was in a shortage and Nintendo sent out bigger shipments for those games releases. It's not as hard to see as you put it.
