Witnessing another sellout this year will be impossible to say the least. Wii's production rate exceeds the 2.4 million/month, and during the first 8 months of 2009 it sold 9.6 million out of the 19.2, in other words, exactly half of what has been made has been sold. There's already a 9.6 million surpluss for the Holidays, which will only grow until November.
So by November there could be about 11 - 12 million stockpiled Wii's + 4.8 from November and December's production. I don't think we will see 15 -16 million+ Wii's sold in between November and December. Even with a pricecut, it would be impossible. The Wii sold a little over 9 million units in Nov/Dec last year, selling 6 - 7 more million is completely out of the question IMO.
