For anyone that thought they were stock pile wii's it would just be unrealistic. WHy would nintendo spend money to stockpile wii's, when they can easily just sell them to retailers and make money?

1- Because the holiday season is the most important sales period of the year. If a kid wants a Wii for Christmas and his/her parents can't find one, there's a possibility they'll get a 360 or PS3 instead.

2- An even simpler way to look at it is that it's a good business principle to try to match demand with supply as much as possible. Demand is higher in Christmas, so supply should also be higher.

3- To get a load of free advertisement in newspapers ("Wii wins holiday sales" articles)
