Well the deluxe is already selling for 200 over retail price on ebay ($550) so what do you think it will reach in early/mid december if you think 1,000 is to high of a guesstimate.

1. I think they want to supply enough so that everyone who wants one has one. I'd rather sell more consoles and have some sitting on a shelf, than have stores wiped out and consumers forget about the console after the holidays. (Examples, kids get the competitor products for xmas, loss of interest/hype, etc) Not sure if they can do it since they have had some manufacturing problems apparently.

2. I think they will sell for 200-300 over the price tops.


The reason they limit consoles on release is to create high demand later so that people buy them up as soon as they hit shelves. They create the idea that there is a short supply of consoles for a long period of time when really they have pallets of them sitting in their warehouses in china. Then they can slowly start releasing more and more and they keep selling out. This is why the original wii totally sold out for 3 consecutive holiday seasons. Not saying they are going to do this again but they end up making more money and selling more consoles if they do.
