There are ways you could do this ...
Nintendo prefers inexpensive ocean freight rather than the much more expensive air freight. This means that it takes multiple weeks to ship a Wii to North America in order to ship it. Now, if after Nintendo completed their shipments for 2007 they started shipping their 2008 shipments by air there (could) be a 1 or 2 week overlap where Nintendo had double shipments. Unfotunately, in order to have any shipments in the begining of 2008 they would have to continue with Air shipments (at least partially) for a couple of weeks.
