Non Sequor on 15 January 2008
It's a result of both Nintendo and stores flushing their supply chains to get as many consoles into stores before Christmas as possible. Normally it takes weeks for a console to travel from the factory to a store shelf, but they paid more to make it happen faster. Essentially they sold Wiis that would have been sold in January in December.
The supply chain should be back to normal some time in February.
