Demand for Wii is astronomical

Demand for Wii is astronomical

Nintendo has just revealed that the demand for the Wii is higher than expected this year. This is especially troubling for people who wish to buy one as it is coming towards the holiday season and everyone who wants a Wii may not get one...again.

I suppose that this is a good thing for Nintendo: More sales=more money for them=more games for us.


Overall, Nintendo has increased it's profit forecast by 23%.

"As consumers in the United States and Europe snap up its game machines, Nintendo hiked forecasts for the Wii six percent and for the DS nine percent, pushing the company to the limits of current production capacity."

Overall, this is good news. I think the stock problem is mainly in America as supply in Ireland and the UK is generally good.

This is not good. The demand for the Gamecube and N64 was lower than other consoles in the market, which meant more core games. The high demand for Wii is due to cruddy games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit, which will then lead Nintendo to develop more casual games.
