They still weren't making enough to meet demand. If they were, there wouldn't have been any shortages anywhere, let alone for 15 months, and they wouldn't have to decide to prioritize one territory over another. A Wii collecting dust in any territory costs them money, no matter monetary rates. What this means is simply that the US will be the last of the 3 territories to have it's needs met.
Look at it this way - the dollar/Euro/Yen differential any different for Microsoft or Sony than it is for Nintendo? Of course not! And with more expensive consoles, they'd likely be even more sensitive to the inequality, so they'd be even more likely to overship to the other territories. But have there been sustained shortages of either 360s or PS3s in the last 15 months? No. Just a short blip - maybe a month- for the 360.
