(OR it's just this was such a big shipment it's takeing a while to sell out.) Probably the most likely option. With Wiis basically impossible to find for so long, every time an extra-large shipment comes in, it can take a little while for enough people to hear that units are in. Remember, we've had availability jump up into the teens and occasionally twenties all year long. Its unlikely that Nintendo will even start to meet demand any time soon.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
