"Oh, they’re definitely doing this on purpose. They’re saving them for Christmas, just like last year, so it builds demand and then we’ll sell a ton of them over the holidays. - Walmart employee"

Well there we have it... strate from walmart that Nintendo DOES stockpile.

 So if they are selling 1.2 - 1.3 Million a month I guess they are holding back 500,000 - 600,000 a month.



It's me...  no really, it IS me!!!

Really...from a Walmart Employee? Ok guys...this was the definitive answer we were looking for. Now if we could only get Target Employee to corroborate this story we could be certain.

What's next? some guy who stands outside of McDonald?

(That's a reliable source. A Walmart employee. That limits it down to a few hundred thousand different people!)

I often wonder, if the Wii's turned out to be faulty, and there was a recall, wtf would Nintendo do. All their hard work would be gone!!!!
