Nintendo has announced that there may be just not enough of the
Wii for the coming holiday season... again. And so if don't you have one, this coming holiday season means getting in line at your local game retailer at 3 am in the bitter cold weather. Nintendo's CEO has stated that while the company will do all it can to make sure that the demand for the
Wii is met, they cannot guarantee full supplies.
"We are really intending to increase the shipments to the US, especially compared to last year," says Iwata.
"However, I can't give you a 100 per cent commitment [that you'll be able to find a Wii this holiday season]. What I can commit myself to is that Nintendo is going to do its best to supply as many Wii hardware units as possible in order to meet demand there."
Retailers suffered by having shortages of the console last Christmas, and they might have to deal with that again this coming season. Not only just for the
Wii, but other games have analysts suggest that the patience amongst consumer could be worn down if they're not able to locate and buy a product so heavily advertised. So this holiday season its possible that you may go without a
Wii.
