That only works if you advertise that you will have a large number available. Otherwise, people will go to the various stores that will carry it in normal proportions. Since it's a rumor, they're clearly not advertising it. In addition, I claim that the notion that people there to buy Wiis (Wiien? Wii? Wiices? Wius?) are likely to be "big spenders" is spurious at best. People willing to argue over these things are geeks who are there to buy the Wii (and, possibly, Wii accessories) and nothing else. They're not going to impulse-buy a rear projection TV.
