Pretty much everyone in the thread is saying, "I live in X area and I never see Wiis at stores" and you come and post that supply is starting to meet demand? How can you possibly tell that if it's still sold out in 90% of the major cities? If you look at Wii availability threads on various forums, you'll see pages of people still struggling to get Wiis with many of them saying that they just gave up and bought one for $50-$80 over retail on ebay.
Judging by the experiences of retailers and game store operators, Nintendo is no closer to meeting demand than they have been at any point this year. It's likely they'll continue to struggle to approach demand through the releases of Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3 before the holiday season comes around. Once the holidays come around, they will be sold out as bad as last year. Perhaps even worse, since more people want a Wii this year than last.
