don't forget there are two sources of stockpiling. A) by nintendo B) by retail
nintendo probably doesn't have a good reason to stockpile anymore.
retail does. for as long as wiis continue to sellout they can increase traffic in their stores simply by advertising they have wiis. why sell them when you get them when you can hold on to them for a few days, advertise in the sunday adverts, and hordes of people into your store.
retail stockpiles for brawl also makes sense. this game is certain to sell at least a couple pieces of hardware. any customers coming in for both will leave with neither if they don't have any wiis in stock.
