Especially if they go looking for a Wii that they can't find. It will definately start cutting into Nintendo's sales as the alternative that is in stock. I have seen it happen with other game systems in the past. Dreamcast picked up sales that Christmas when no one could find a PS2. So did the Sega Genesis when people couldn't find a Super Nintendo.
And like the Sega Genesis, its actually a worth competitor. But it happens, don't expect any of the peripherals to come down in price anytime soon (especailly that HDDs) They got to make back the money some how.
