The Wii is still sold out in Northern Virginia. This is a pretty wealthy area, fed by federal contracts and the bay. No matter how many customers would like to buy a Wii, they just cannot find one. Maybe there are 3 a month at every Target store in this area, and around 20 buyers. It is June! There should be plenty of Wii on the shelf and Wiifit right next to them.
If the Wii does not outsell the PS2 it will be because Nintendo management did not have the guts to make enough of them. My bet is that Nintendo will never make enough Wii to outsell the PS2, so it cannot outsell the PS2.
Also consider the the Wii is not as state-of-the-art a product as the PS2 was in its day. It will be easy for Sony and Softie to catch up with the motion controller, and when they do Nintendo will be sorry for the install base it did not have the guts to grow.
The urge to play is a terrible thing to waste.
