Will Wii sales slow down after Christmas?

When relatives and friends come over for Christmas a large group of people will be exposed to the Wii for the first time in person; they're likely to play Wii Sports and/or games like Wario Ware, Mario Party and Rayman Raving Rabids and most of these people (including non-gamers) are going to have a (really) good time. After Christmas these gamers are going to look into getting a Wii and the Wii's sales will remain fairly high in comparison to the PS3 and XBox 360, potentially even selling out; many of the Gamers who played it at Christmas may wait for different games but will (likely) be drawn to Mario Kart or Smash Bros in the first half of 2008, and many of the non-gamers will be drawn towards Wii Fit upon release.

To be fully honest, I'm not certain 1.8 Million consoles is enough to satisfy demand across the world without regional shortages

To be honest, it seems like every single event is another oppurtunity for this large group of people to be exposed to the wii for the first time. It's not as if it came out last week, everyone knows what a Wii is, the number of people who havent seen one is now in the minority so I disagree; each console will suffer a drop after xmas, its natural, I dont think the Wii will see as big an increase next year as many believe.
