Then Nintendo must be stockpiling the remainder of production. That is the only plausible explanation.

I have no problem believing Brawl sold out. If anything, they should have shipped more copies for the initial run (biggest release for the Wii to date). I was expecting close to 1.2m first week sales for Brawl if they had prepared for a simultaneous WW release.

Sales on Wiis have been in line with Nintendo's latest reported production amounts. It's reasonable to assume that the Wii is by and large sold out worldwide, and they haven't had a chance to stockpile after the holidays.

Latest production rate: 1.8m/month. True or false.

Current rate of sales for Jan 2008 as tracked by VGC: 1,287,869. True or false.

1.8m > 1,287,869. True.

 

Explain.
