There are no Wii's in Europe -either- !

There are no Wii's in Europe -either- !
Don't you love analysts that don't analyze before they speak? According to Kotaku, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter says that Nintendo has been diverting its Wii's to Europe. The reason for this is allegedly that there is more money to be made in Europe due to the weak Dollar. A snippet from Kotaku's post:

Wedbush Morgan analyst and Kotaku reader idol Michael Pachter went on record with the Dallas News with his theory on one reason it's still so damn hard to find a Wii. The United States dollar, he's paraphrased as saying, is so limp, that Nintendo is shipping excess consoles to Europe to meet demand there, squeezing out a bit of extra profit when all is said and done. It's not like Nintendo is completely abandoning American gamers—it sold 432,000 Wiis in February—it may just be allocating stock to its first class customer base.

Well Mr Pachter. I am from Europe and my wife has been trying to buy me a Nintendo Wii since the beginning of November as a Christmas present. Knowing her tenacity, I can tell you that it is no fault of her that it hasn't been Christmas for me yet.

Mr Pachter has been making a fool of himself before, so I guess it should have been expected...
