stockpiling is the dumbest theory out there. why would they stockpile? why does nintendo care if they sell the console today rather then in 2 weeks when Brawl comes out? maybe they want a really big number that one week so they can brag on vgchartz??? A console sold is a console sold. They sell out as soon as they come in - so IT MAKES NO SENSE to hold them back.

More likely then stockpiling is that Nintendo is having some probelms making the damn things.

Stockpiling isn't completely useless. If people buy a console in the week of a big release, they most likely will buy that game too. If the people waiting for Brawl can't get a Wii, they will buy nothing of the two. So selling a Wii this week means revenue for Nintendo for the Wii, but selling it in the week of SSBB means revenue for the Wii AND SSBB.

 The guy that goes to eb games to buy Brawl + Wii ,on whatever day its supposed to release on, is still going to buy Brawl + Wii. 

 He will still be buying it as soon as Nintendo can offer one for sale.  The things sell as soon as they hit the shelves.  Retailers holding back a product they KNOW will sell immediately just so Nintendo can have a

great big mario fantastic special sunshine day extravaganza is ludacrious.  So you are saying that Nintendo is holding

inventory from retailers, right? They want to delay making money? Get real! Nintendo should be thankful 

retailers havent punched up prices in the

store when demand /= supply 

 

 

 

I would like to thank the Opera browser/this website  for driving me insane with the formatting of this post
