There's an old military axiom, and it goes something like this: Soldiers thing about tactics and politicians think about strategy, but generals? Generals think about logistics.

Well, thanks to logistics, Nintendo is thrashing Sony on sales, selling almost as many Wiis in its first month as Microsoft sold XBox360s.
