They never ramped up production, and it has been out for a year?

The unit itself is inferior in every way to both a PS3 and 360, and is more of a outdated 2nd generation unit with a new gadget attachments.

I predict it will fade like all fads once people realize this.

Blame Nintendo directly for this. They dont want to take any blame for it but its not the consumers fault Nintendo didnt produce enough units. The Wii is the biggest console since they went into business. I believe they ran short on purpose becasue they werent sure if the new controller would cause wii to be a flop worldwide. When sales skyrocketed; they were caught by surprise. By the time this finally hits shelves at an Ok price; the Wii will probably be obsolete. So folks just buy an X-box or PS3 if u can get it. I never got a nintendo 64 for this very same reason!

Why can’t they just increase production, wouldn’t they make alot of money with all that demand. Why wait for the demand to lower?

I know you guys are in a rut about them, but we’re not too fantastic either. Perhaps, in terms of relativity, it’s easier to pull the ads here than over your end.

So the US has plenty, but the U.K. doesn’t?
