Nintendo Wii's to sell over 600k a week.

That was one week.

There was one week last year before Christmas when the Wii sold 1.47 million units. Is that supposed to mean that if Nintendo had 1.5 million consoles available to retail every week, they'd be selling 6 million consoles a month?

Count the number of weeks this year (out of six plus months) that the Wii actually outsold the current production rate of 1.8m/month or 415k/week and what will you see?

Four times. Twice at about 450k, one of which was for the first week of January as sales for all consoles were tapering down. Plus one huge 684k week and one more at 507k.

600k/week production will simply mean one thing: anyone will be able to walk into a store and just buy a Wii sitting on the shelf. That will make the consumers happy, it will make Nintendo's shareholders happy; everybody happy except for those whose "infinite demand theory" regarding the Wii becomes officially debunked.
