Japan is closer to the source of the supply chain, all of the factorys are in Japan. Nintendo can most likely produce them and get them to retailers in less than 3 days in Japan, for the US this have to ship it overseas which takes a while, then it has to enter the NOA supply management system in Washinton, which is then shipped overland, wwhich could take another week to get it NY.
I would bet that Nintendo was sending ALL of the systems it produced in Nov. to US and Europe thus the weak sales in Japan, and now Japan is consuming the Wii's hot off the press which mean none are gonna be on boats for a week or 2 and during that gap, that gap is what I am talking about... It might be 2-3 after Christmas until the gap hits. That is why they did the Rain Checks, they know Jan is gonna be SUPER Wii Dry...

very well thought out  good job:)

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
