I'm not going to blame it all on the weather, first we'll have to see this week's sales to see if the Wii sales recover. But Washington state had a bit more rain this previous Monday 12/3 than we usually get. Causing " Several miles of Interstate Five are still closed because the highway is under water." for example.

and bad enough to be declared a disaster area by Bush.
All in all, receiving in and then shipping back out the Wii from the North Bend shipping location would have been impacted at least somewhat. (I know my commute from work to home was.)
Since the DS isn't quite as supply bound as the Wii, the weather related shipping impact on it would be less than the Wii's. Where as, if the Wii doesn't get shipped, there's no in-store inventory to sell.
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
