Another thing people easily forget is that Nintendo is not a resource-rich company; they're capital-rich, and there is a difference. They outsource all final hardware construction to other firms. They've always done it that way, in fact. So do Sony and MS, but not to the degree that Nintendo does. Any bottleneck on any of their supply side is reflected in a limit to how much they can produce. On top of that, the Wii has entirely unprecedented demand; even the PS2 wasn't this sought after, and the PS2 experienced shortages for almost a solid year in America after its launch there.
