I'd also like to point out, which has been said multiple times in various threads, that increasing production is not as easy as flipping a switch. And much harder than flipping a REALLY big switch. It takes time, they have to make sure enough parts (CPU, GPU, etc) are made, and somethings that means those who make those parts have to increase production, which might take some time (if not more). They have to have the extra plants, and if needed, have to buy plants, and I doubt there are many empty manufacturing plants out there waiting to be used. Those plants have to be set up, at any rate. Contracts have to be made. It's a very time consuming, and costly, process, which one doesn't simply run into blind folded.
I would also like to give congrats to Oyvoyvoyv for a very reasonable look at what was being said, even if it didn't completely fit with the OT.
Also, to Sqrl and others, yes there's a problem with the comparison of aligning the launches in each region, but there's a problem with every single comparison, so the key is to be thorough and point out the problems.
CrazzyMan, I don't think anyone was really saying the Wii was doing better (at least in this thread), but I don't really think it's unfair to look at sales and say "yes the Wii is doing better." I mean, we can look at sales for the Wii and GameCube, and say that the Wii is doing better than the GameCube, can't we, even though the GameCube was released in 2001 and the Wii in 2006? Also, I think looking at trends is more important than direct comparisons of numbers.
