well considering Nintendo has production at 1.8 million per month, and we're currently selling at greater than 600k per week (ie, 2.4 million per month), those extra consoles have to come from somewhere.

Retail channel in europe? Germany is still not sold out, France retail channel seems to be healthy. Japan could be stocked?

And don't forget, it takes 20 days from Factory to Retailer. Thats the time the ship needs. Maybe they taking for the US holidays things with a aircraft? Could explain why some of the retailer don't get refill until Jan. With aircraft it should only take a week from producutin->retailer. That would give an extra from about 1 Million Units. Befor Christmass, but would leave an empty spot after crhistmass.

The Wii is sold out at amazon.de by the way. The ds is now availible there. The Wii was good availible at Toys'R'us however (at least in my town).

a MINIMUM of 1.8 Million a month

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Yeah right.

Nintendo is massively lying to their customers... because that's part of their Blue Ocean strategy?
They are keeping their stockpiles until after Christmas because... they may sell it next year? Or how about storing them for a hundred years and then selling them for a HUGE profit?

You people are just caught up in an idea that has been thoroughly debunked.

No stockpiles.
Less than 19 million shipped by the end of the year.
Still fastest selling console ever.
End of story.



Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.

Get real dude. Wii still has 3.79 mil to go in 3 weeks.

Wii is currently selling at ~600k Ww. That means at a rate of 2.400.000+ units every month at it's current rate. That is well above the 1.8 mil they were creating every month. So yes, there is a stockpile.

But even if Nintendo managed to sell 1 mil 1 week for 3 months in a row (Which i highly doubt is possible) it wouldn't reach that 20 million mark of yours so my answer is no.

Not managable.

 From looking at people's expectations this week, they expect around 1 million Wii's in NA and 500k in Europe plus 100k in Japan minimum.  Most likely Europe could get around 750k if NA gets 1 million.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
