^ well by that logic thx they may as well have not stockpiled at all and just had a measly 3.5 million over christmas....which is a number the 360 might get close to.
Nintendo have to pace it out correctly or else it will fall through.... go back and look at the past comparison charts or something like the PS2...Nintendo have to release the stock each week with increasing amounts up to christmas because that is how the demand curve trends.....If they just kept releasing what they made it would screw things up....despite what Nintendo stated ("get a wii early cos there wont be any"), the average consumer either didn't read about it, or won't listen anyway, thus the week before christmas is when most of the average consumers will go looking for one.
