No, certainly not but Nintendo ships more if retailers demand it. That´s how supply works. Sometimes they get more consoles out, sometimes not. Additionally some retailers stockpile for big games - take Brawl as an example, America sales have been less than 100k units for some weeks now and they know they´ll sell out completely if they place every shipped Wii on the shelfs, so they stockpile themselves because they want big software titles to sell well - software sells hardware, but only if there is some hardware left. You could argue a lot of people would buy a Wii for Brawl and shops don´t want to lose those additonal sales because there are no consoles left. |
1. I see retailers clamouring, even begging Nintendo constantly for supplies. Constantly. Every day of the week. Cause they know they will sell out.
2. If Nintendo even spends one dollar on warehousing a wii that they could have sold no problem within the day, I hope shareholders fire every single nintendo exec because they are wasting money.
