"ncorrect re: being able to meet any demand...they don't make the parts, they have to have suppliers make them...u can't say they should be able to meet 5mil/month demand or 10mil/month demand"

Even that is easy in a wonderworld called capitalism. You go to the supplier and tell him to make more and until when you need it. Then he will tell you a price and either you are willing to pay that or not. Because of this easy principle almost no electronic device in existance is sold out longer than a couple weeks or months. Cars and Planes need longer sometimes but for a console that is made of chips and plastic parts the biggest problem may be to get a new process line for your chip running. Since the Wii doesn't use any cutting-edge 45nm processes or whatever there shouldn't be many unsurmountable problems. So its more of a monetary question.

"and then u have the crying babies and the black tentacles coming out of the ps3...very hardcore-focused"

You know I think there are way too many analysts on this page. "This IP will not move the needle", "That is too hardcore-focuses". In the end it is the games (and the price) not the advertisement or whatever. That only helps. You will see some gravity shifts depend on that.
