I don't see any relationship between these news and stockpiling.
Demand is always huge in December, and the Wii is clearly getting all the consumer attention it needs to sell huge numbers. Who knows how much it would sell if supply was infinite? I believe any existing stockpiles will be sold no matter what ads there are.
There are certain countries where Nintendo needs to advertise the Wii (Southern European countries spring to mind), but USA and UK are not in that list.
