Did the store actually have Wiis to sell or have they just pretended they had?
I think that's the really interesting part. If they could actually sell you those twenty machines, I find it reasonable to put up empty cardboard boxes. If they just pretended I'd call it marketing and not retail, though.
I can't remember that I've ever seen shelves full of empty boxes that weren't backed by an actual inventory here in Germany, so I might not be the ideal person to wonder about these things ;)
