I don't think that they are holding back shipments, but it was shown over the last weeks that supply is not really steady, hardware numbers have gone up and down all the time and I think we had a higher period around the release of Super Paper Mario/Golden Week, but since then, we were in a lower period of wii supply. With Mario Party being released in two regions soon and Dragon Quest in Japan, there are reasons to try to get more units to stores.
I believe that the bumps are mostly due to production and to stocking up for Christmas; maybe Nintendo holds back some more units during weeks without software releases.
