Perfect response. I was going to post these exact points.
when they get production over 3mil and closer to 4mil, then we can talk about MAYBE seeing wiis on shelves in stores in the US consistently
I think this is a little over the top because the Wii is in supply in Europe/Others and Japan. The US is the last bastion of shortages, which is a big part of the reason we've seen almost 1.5 million units sold in the US in the last two months. As Nintendo increases production, the lion's share of that increase can come to the US now, since the Wii is in stock in most other countries (to my understanding). Saying the Wii needs 3 million per month (about 2 million of which would be selling in the US, I imagine) to meet demand in the US is very hardcore speculation.
