the below 200, 000 units in NA are given already, seem Ninty is ready again to surprise us with massive sales in time for MGS4.

 First off, who cares? What would that prove? That if Nintendo would have actually put all those units on the shelves instead of stock piling them so their cock looks bigger than Sonys people could have had their Wii earlier and they would have still sold roughly the same amount of systems? Or does it prove that Nintendo does create artifical vacums of supply through out the year so when anything looks to steal their lime light they dump a ton of consoles on the market and all the sheep say, "Wow!! They sure sold ALOT of consoles" instead of "Wow, where did all those consoles come from, why werent they on shelves last week? Why are you not putting your whole inventory thats not being stock piled for the holidays on the shelves... isnt that same thing as creating artifical demand?"

 

Second off, again... Who cares? They did the same thing the week of GTA IV's launch and you know what everyone out side of this little internet fantasy land was talking about? GTA IV. The Wii could have sold 2 million consoles that week, and the News, Game Shows, Talk Shows, Radio Shows, Co-Workers, School Mates and even Family Members would still be talking about GTA IV.

 

To answer the question, yes they will. Its what Nintendo does. They sit and have their console "Sell Out" for the months leading up to GTA IV's release at roughly 400,000 units a month, and then they nearly DOUBLE their available product for that one month, then its right back to... Ooooh, we really are trying to stock them up as fast as possible, we just cant make them fast enough.
