Think of all the additional games Nintendo could have sold if they had more Wii units out there sooner. There’s SERIOUS money in the games.

I just don’t buy that these are anything more than wanting to get the product in the hands of excited customers as soon as possible and not waiting for the stockpile to build to fully satisfy the expected (or hoped for) demand.

When I grabbed mine it was the last in stock. It was about six months after that that I finally started to see them in stores when I wasn't specifically hunting them down.</p> A year of the Wii launch, it took a concerted effort that took a few weeks to find a Wii.
