It's hard to believe the power the Nintendo brand name has now.

Indeed. If America's numbers don't increase by quite a lot by next week, something is amiss.

Wasn't much of a risk when no one knew they were about to attack, perhaps entering the war so forcibly was risky, but that particular battle doesn't seem so. On Topic: Well ioi is expecting an increase either last week [numbers soon to be added] or this week [ending 2nd Feb]

On the contrary, the battle was very risky. Success meant immobilizing the entire pacific fleet, while failure meant feeling the wrath of the US. If Admiral Nagumo had have commenced the third wave and struck at the fuel storage of the fleet, the US pacific fleet would have been set back at least a year. I'd say Pearl Harbor was mildly successful, but the Japanese sure could've done a lot more damage had they taken the extra risk of following through with a third wave. Oh well, waaaay off topic, but interesting nonetheless. :D

Sounds to me like they were being too conservative when they held back the third wave. ;)
God you people are lame for turning this into a pissing contest of War time logistics. Hey, I have the history channel too but you don't see me bragging. :)

Nothing's cheaper than something free.
F1 vs FOTA, when too much power is in couple peoples hands.

So you are saying that? http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii®1=All&cons2=PS2®2=All&cons3=GC®3=All&weeks=80&weekly=1 (same graph just weekly)
They are increasing now, and will keep at same rate above PS2. But the problem here, is that it was first after 34 weeks that PS2 came to USA, and they upped production to keep up with that.
