That's a complete guess. We have no idea what the current level of demand really is, or how demand would have been affected by the existance of more Wiis.
The Wii sells itself, remember -- when people try it, they buy it. More Wiis = more "word of mouth" (and "try it to buy it") marketing. Perhaps Nintendo could have sold twice as many in the US if they were available.
No one knows. All estimates are really guesses, educated or not. It looks to me like you simply said, "eh, it could've sold maybe 20% more."
The DS' demand is insane, but the Wii's demand levels have surpassed it everywhere but in Japan for the same time frame. And in Japan, it's close.
