Pent up demand does not make sense, People have been aware of the Xbox 360 for over a year Announced at E3 in 2005, and shipped 300,000 to Europe and only managed to sell 70,000 out of the 300,000 during Launch weekend.
Yup you read right, Xbox 360 shipped 300,000 to the PAL area and only sold 70,000 during Launch Weekend.

The Wii? nobody knows. They have said they shipped 1.5 million worldwide during launch. And if US sold 600K and Japan sold 370K that still leaves 530units unaccounted for.. hmmm
