@Laoldar, When did I ever say "supply is low"? I didn't. And I'm starting to get irritated with people putting words in my mouth. I am wondering how much their supply will actually be increased for Oct, Nov, Dec. I also think the shortages are helping them IF the shortages are not huge #'s meaning if for example if the supply per month is 400K and say the demand is under 500K per month, then the shortages are helping them through free advertising and 'gotta have it' status. Kids see friends and others with a Wii and to them its like a rare trading card or action figure making them want one too. This is only if the demand is not much higher than the supply. If the demand is actually over 500K per month for a year now then no the shortage doesn't help. (add up all the 100K extra for every month that had sales of 400K since launch, total that # and see how many more Wii's would've been sold).
