I agree that demand is higher than supply now. You can do your own local market research by calling stores in the area to see if they have any in stock. I was checking E-bay yesterday morning and watching the Wii close around $320 + $30 shipping. That indicates a very high demand with low supply.
I remembered seeing a few in a Target and also at a local Shopko a few weeks ago. I thought I would pick one up to sell on ebay/craigslist for a profit. I contacted all of the retailers and NONE of them hand ANY in stock.
Driving to a different town last night with my wife we went to the Shopko there and my wife asked if they had a Wii. They said they had one and that they just found out about 10 minutes before we asked (it was lost in their own store). So I picked it up and put it on craigslist last night. I asked the man working "wow, this thing must sell real fast if I got the last one." he replied "Yes, it has been selling out the same day that we get it." I said "well you must not get many if they are always selling out" he said "actually we get at least 12 per shipment and as many as 25 about three times a week" I said "wow, it really does sell fast, are many people asking for it then" he said "all the time."
Interesting observation. I always ask questions about shipments times and such. It seems that most retail stores in the area have about this same shipment level.
