Is the sales of North America becoming more like Japan?

I dont think it matters, someone who wants to buy a PS3 or 360 doesnt really care if Nintendo shipped 400k that week, it's not like they wont find a 360 or ps3 in the stores. I think Nintendo cost themselves more hardware because its so hard to find, can you imagine how many consoles Nintendo would have sold already if they could ship enough.
