See the thing isn't that they can't bump up production, its more that they are doing it slowly, they overproduced the GCN and got burned when demand was low, so they are slowly bumping it up with incremental increases so as to not overproduce. Now it takes about five months to bump up production, so they can't change production on a dime, they've already bumped it up twice last year, and will probably bump it up more this year, and at the moment are producing a very large number of Wii's
