Expect Continued Wii Shortages
Chris Morris at Forbes has a story on Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata’s warning that the Wii will likely still be in short supply this coming holiday season.
“We are really intending to increase the shipments to the U.S., especially compared to last year,” says Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s global president and CEO. “However, I can’t give you a 100% 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.”
The man is either a diabolical genius or an idiot of epic proportions. Probably a little of both.
