Ok then, lets add the last two weeks together and split them in half.... that's about 230k Wii's this week. then.
Oh by the way at anyone wondering about Nintendo's shipments.
It does make sense that they control the shipments so that extras are shipped in time for big releases, but that does not equate to a big warehouse full of Wiis they dig into for big games, it just means they can control supply week by week to better fit with demand.
The massive number of Wiis this week however was more likely a number of big retailers (TRU/Walmart for sure) holding back 2 weeks worth of supply to be released on the Sunday with MKWii. Nintendo did not ship 60k Wiis last week and 400k this week, it would never be different to that extent.
