IMO, Nintendo shifted shipments to Europe for the Sony launch there to try and forestall a big Sony win as a result of lack of stock of Wiis. In the US we went thru a period of about 4 weeks where no one was getting shipments. About two weeks ago that appears to have changed as all of the major stores began getting shipments again. The eBay price in the US is running at ridiculous levels, with an average Sold price of $335 with $35 SH = $370. (Note: alot of people like snipin this item on eBay; you need to look at Sold prices and not auctions that are still open). So I think you will see that EU supply diminish as NIntendo returns EU to that Others category for shipments and refocuses on fulfilling the heavy demand in NA and Japan.
