@Tombi, that is plain cherrypicking (read Fishyjoes sig for that). Fact are facts, the Wii outsells the competition by more than 2:1 in Japan, USA and 1,5:1 in Europe.

And what better proof that people want Wii if not the fact that every time there is a shipment people stare at vgc numbers and say "wow wii". Not to mention that i still hear people and companies talking about Wii shortages in the US. So what's your point?

My point is that if Nintendo could meet demand with the Wii, it wouldn't have sold 230K in NA this week...

We don't know what the typical weekly demand is at the moment, all we know it is that the public demand hasn't been satiated. There is no reason to think that once supply catches up with demand that they won't be able to sell 200k a week in the US. Its not a situation where when demand is met nobody will ever want them again, if anything there is reason to believe that the demand is currently stifled by the low supply.

 

I'm not saying it is gaurunteed to sell that well, just that there is no way for you to know for certain that it wouldn't.
