Probably not as much as people expect. I mean even if they do sell waaay more, it's going to be complicated for Ioi (Heck even NPD) to estimate exactly how much Wii sales have gone up without a shipped figure. I mean you don't know if the extra amount released is evenly distributed among stores, or if Ioi is sampling from smaller stores less likely to get a bigger boost, or from the large stores that have giant boosts (like Toys R Us did.) etc...
Christmas is the biggest time of year for sales, it's also the biggest chance for error. I'd expect both Vgchartz and Ioi to be off one way or another on the Wii do to this. Same with the other systems as well, though to a lesser degree.
