The quote in my sig says, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."  I do not believe that your opinion is at all supported by the facts upon even mildly critical examination.  Just because we don't know exactly when the Wii launches in mainland Asia doesn't mean Nintendo has no idea; and anyway not knowing when they'll do it is NOT the same as it being too early to begin stockpiling.  I have no solid plans for when I'll buy a new car but I'm still saving up for it.  [edit:  And then there's Sqrl's point that falsifying documents to stockholders (and the SEC if I'm not mistaken) is a CRIME which would literally put very high ranking people in jail.]

In short: the reason I said what I said is that I think that there IS a "crystal-clear answer" in terms of "1.8m/stockpiling yes or no" and that you have refused to approach this question rationally and that if you had then you would be getting the same answer as the rest of us.

I didn't mean to imply that you have completely lost your senses, but I stand by the opinion that your opinion is completely unsupported in this case.  It's true that you should not be lumped in with PooperScooper; I never intended to do so (and never did) but I recognize that I wasn't clear on that.  At the same time, simply repeating yourself is not the proper response to detailed rebuttal.  Even if you think the response is not on point or fails to defeat your points you ought to point out WHY you believe the counterargument failed to counter.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
