Abroz...cdude's comment was not an underhand insult, but rather an underhand compliment. You will quickly discover here that there are several posters around these parts that shun proper spelling, are allergic to commas, and just have a difficult time putting their fingers to the keys without causing a train wreck. Welcome to the Chartz, both your analysis and your grammar.
As far as supply is concerned, if Nintendo can keep the retail channel full this holiday season it will be a coup for them. The only thing that will keep their sales below their competitor's is scarce product.
Something else that I'm not sure you are considering, since you are new around these parts. Nintendo has yet to take the Wii to China, yet they are planning a launch there this next year. There will definitely be some stockpiling for that event.
So while they may be producing 1.8 million units, all these units may not make it into the supply this holiday. Nintendo will certainly do what they can to keep enough on the shelves to establish retail dominance, as well as limiting said supply to further the belief that the Wii is a scarce commodity. It's just good business.
