My bet is that Wii will go down to low sales again next week.
Why?
Okay. Say 120k Wii come in by boat. Say, their customers total 20K stores that want as many as they can get. Nintendo can split them up do 20K shipments of 6 a piece. -OR- they can do 10k shipments of 12 a piece for half the customers, and another 10k shipments for the other half the following week. Saves on shipping cost, and over the 2 week period, everybody got the same amount. Sales should be 120k a week, right?
Problem tho. The sample data doesnt cover all customers. Only about 30%, I believe. And say that a lot of that 30% gets their shipments in week 1, and nothing in week 2. What does the data look like then? Like this:

Thus, my bet is that Wii will go down to low sales again next week.
Of course, this could get tossed out the window by one thing. SSBB and a lot of Wii given to EVERYBODY before, during and after that game comes out.
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
