Right, but why would they do that? I'm not putting idiocy of of the question, but they sell the for the same price tomorrow as they would yesterday. The only thing they do by saving them up is increasing their workload tomorrow.

The Wii is a draw - the stores are measured on their sales for particular weekends and times throughout the year. By holding back stock until a critical buying period, they will attract more people to their store to check out the Wii and also do their other shopping there at the same time. Trickling the Wiis out over a few weeks would only attract casual buyers or fanboys, not the big spenders they are hoping for this weekend.
