This may come back to haunt me, so I'll be conservative. I believe over the next two weeks, we will probably see an upswing in Wii supply not only to NA, but also to Others, and here is why I believe that:

A. The mistake regaurding US sales this week, as I can gather, happened because an extra day was added to the info. This extra day added more(100k plus) Wii sales then the entireity of last week combined.

- This means that the Wii is outselling the PS3 and 360's 7 day totals on its first day in stock, and perhaps in its first few hours in stock.

-This gives us a preview of next week, where the lowest possiblity is that the Wii sold out in that one day accidently added to this weeks, or that it just sold very well, and was still in stock for the following days.

B. March is here and we've suspected stockpiling for the release of Brawl. The theory behind stockpiling is to sell more Brawl software, because it is assume that people who buy the Wii around Brawl release have a higher chance of buying the console with intent to purchase Brawl, while those who purchase in early January or February have a greater chance of buying the system as a Wii-Sports machine.

C. Thanks to NJ5, we know that for the first time, pretty much ever, the Wii is in stock at Amazon.uk

Barring the "Wii is a fad" theory, this leads us to believe that we're seeing a nice increase in supply for Amazon over the last 2 days. If the American market is any indication, and assuming the Wii didn't sell out, then demand can average up too or over 120,000 units per day in these markets, and that would probably include Amazon.uk.

D. Further down this path, Reggie has made some bold statements indicating increased Wii shipments lately, involving the 360, as we all know. Those statements make this increased supply, in the US at least, a likely probability.

Lots of places only get one shipment a week for the wii. So, that one extra day could be near all it gets for the entire week. If that's the case, it's not that much bigger...

I was thinking the same thing when I created the other thread, although I hadn't seen all the pieces of the puzzle that you enumerated.

It could just be coincidences, but it's plausible that you're on to something here.

That's completely true. If it is true, however, and the Wii is outselling the PS3 and 360 on the first day, easily, while still not meeting demand, then we also must assume that the damand for the Wii is well over 7 times greater than the demand for the PS3 or 360, and if that is the case every week, then the supply issue is only delaying the inevitable Nintendo world domination.

Could the Wii sell 800,000 units a week with no supply contraint, for even one week? It appears that yes, it could, very easily.

yes, while taking a piss this morning i had a similar feeling. guess i had it in my urine.

wtf, lol, /shoots troll

not trolling, just making a comment on your "sensing". You might expect one or anticipate one, but sense one?

Its like a granny saying: oh, my knee hurts, weather must be changing. 

Why didn't you say that in the first place. No need to be abstract. Topic titles are not very indicative of the posts inside them. You should read my post and comment on its contents.

why state the obvious?

ioi: sorry, I took into account sunday sales for the 24th. thats why numbers were off by more than 100k. retailers have been releasing massive amounts on sunday 24th.

you: i sense an upswing in sales for next week.

me: o rly? now who would've thought that?

I'm just waiting and will waiting until the day you can walk into a electronics department or game store and they have Wii's in stock. That's what I'm waiting for until then, Nintendo will and always piss me off.
