There IS an economic concept called Artificial Scarcity which DOES support the concept of squeezing supply.
The benefits include higher margins per unit sold, longer periods of high or stable price (if the Wii was easily available would it really demand 2.5 time the price of a Ps2?), free advertising from the 'buzz'.
