I'm just screwing with you Nintendo fans, but with that stuff aside i still don't see how Nintendo cannot boost sales to meet demand. Is it really that hard to boost sales after 8months on the shelf. Is there some sort of special device that they can't keep in supply or what?

I'm a Nintendo fan and I agree that this is ridiculous. Speaking as the poor sorry asshole who spent months Wii-hunting for friends, Nintendo can't produce worth crap.

Last December, along with the Wii being sold out, do you realize the DSL was also sold out everywhere, and Nintendo had an 8 month head start with it to ramp up manufacturing?

Nintendo has no clue how to produce enough hardware, period. It might be because they're so unused to selling a product that people actually want, but if the Wii still can't stay on shelves for two years in a row, then it's not JUST demand, it's incompetence.

 That is a pretty ignorant thing to say for a numberof reasons, A. Nintendo slowed down production of the DS so that they could create more Wii's, how do I know this? Working at a Gamestop we stopped getting shipments of DS's in october and we learned that this was because of ramped up Wii creation. B. It is also ignorant because we didnt have a problem with them shipping us less DS's because we had 160 plus stockpiled in the back room. By Mid November they were all gone, you don't expect that kinda thing to happen and you certainly dont think that you will sell that many Ds's so quickly, I work in a small store as well, so having 160+ DS's was overkill, yet we were still sold out in such a short period of time. Nintendo did everything they could to get their product to the consumer. It wasnt incompetance by any stretch of the imagination. So don't assume anything unless you have anything to back up your far fetched assumptions. Nintendo's been in the business 20+ years, they arent incompetent.
