Good, hopefully that will happen in the UK too... France did seem to be the most sold out place after UK (in Europe anyway)
I won't hold my breath because I saw 3 Wii on one day in Sheffield in mid-december... but that on it's own doesn't prove it is properly stocked, just that I went into those stores at the right time.
I would bet by mid February Europe will be OK for stock, with the UK having the odd shortage for a bit longer until maybe April or May, by the time October comes though, if Nintendo have not upped production there will be shortages again.
