One way to look at it is that Nintendo is giving the store free money and great advertising.
How? By shipping a Wii to the store, the store is guaranteed to get the sales $ on day 1, but does not have to pay for the invoice until 30 days plus later. And the store can advertise that it has Wiis available, pulling in customers away from its competition.
All the store has to do is push the DS a little bit harder, which isn't that hard to get a sale for either. After all, it's not like they are having to sell a pink PSP like UK Dixon had to. (see http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=11948#end )
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
