Well it just seems they want to replace ads of the Wii which they think they can't get any more sells out of with more sells of the DS.
They hope that by advertising the DS instead, I wouldn't say it was about ethics so much as it was about maximising sales over the christmas period. No point advertising something that they believe will sell out without the ads.
Well they can't sell more than they can make to begin with, they're probably aiming for a good looking way to pull back on advertising cost, especially because it's unnecessary to push more product than can be sold.
They don't... otherwise they wouldn't sell you obsolete hardware for 250 bucks, when it probably costs them anywhere from 25-50 bucks to produce a Wii.
Seriously though... this is like Sony all of a sudden comming out and saying that they can't keep up with the demand of PS2's because yields are so bad that they just can't meet demand... it's a very hard pill to swollow.
Exactly what component inside the Wii is so hard to produce that can keep nintendo from mass producing that thing?
We have to remmember here, this hardware is so simple to make that any obsolete 5 year old computer would run laps compared to this thing, there's absolutley no reason i can think off that can keep them from producing this like SPAM.

WOW? A company that actually places ethics in front of sales? Thats new!

A good move either way though
They probably feel that selling them is not big of a challenge.
*Shrugs*
Now the challenge is to sell LESS of them.
THE THRILL!
