So what Nintendo gave you a total through September of sold to retailers. That is the starting point. So they produced/will have produced another 4.2million the last 3 months that will actually end up on store floors to be sold before the end of the year.
I dont buy the huge stockpiling of Wii theory that Nintendo produced them but didnt sell them. If retailers have stockpiled them they would still show up in the 13 million figure released by Nintendo for results through September.
Libraries sell systems not individual games
