It has only just hit me how ridiculous it is that the Wii is STILL sold out

I would agree with you if all the systems offered the same functionality or were going after the same demographic. Wii offers a completely different gaming experience and Nintendo is going after the non gaming crowd.

It's sort of like going to a car lot specifically to buy a 6 person passenger car or minivan for your family but since everyone is sold out for a while you buy 2 person pick-up truck instead. Sure it's going to happen but not enough for the manufacturers to stop making cars because everyone is buying trucks now or even enough that trucks become the dominate mode of transportation.

That is the strangest analogy ever, try again. If you don't find that car, you buy a different one with the same capabilities or you go to another car lot. Have you ever bought a car? You do know that they cost slightly more than consoles, right?

 I definately know more about cars than you do. I sold them for 7 years and bought 6  which is why I used it as an analogy. Hell a PS3 costs  more than most people's car payments and to most people (those that don't have the cash to buy one out right) that is all they care about is the payment. They look at how much they spend every month and not what the overall cost is. That's why people fall for that leasing shit all the time because the payment is cheaper. They never get to own the damn thing but their budget isn't strained because they can't afford a buy payment. 

Cars are easily equated with consoles price wise when you realize how the market actually works something you obviously don't know shit about.
