I feel its likely Nintendo did stockpile about 80,000 Wii's for SSB:B, and plan to release an extra 20,000 units a week for the next 3 weeks, and this week.
The Wii's numbers were up, but there is no way with how many in Europe and Americas were sold, that they could have stockpiled much more than 80k.
Releasing an extra 20k a week in Japan up until the NA launch of Brawl would raise the Wii sales about 20k a week(like what happened this week) in japan, and make Brawl as close to a system seller as it can get in this time of supply constrainment.
Just a theory.
Also, it could be that the extra 20k sold in Japan this week, was the "stockpile" or that Nintendo didn't stockpile.
Either way, I have little doubt that Wii's are soldout in Japan, from the reports I'm hearing from various japanese forum posters this week. :P
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
