This just proves how much Nintendo hates the gamers, Not only are they selling the system for more than its worth but they are limiting the supplies for no one can get the system, They have had about 8months to boost production, and have done nothing. By the time the wii is in stores no one is going to buy it, the PS3 and 360 will be cheaper, Nintendo won't even break 50mil units sold at this rate, Good way to lose fans Nintendo and boost the sales of PS3 and 360 during the holidays :D

Ok...WHAT?!? That's like saying 'Honda obviously hates the drivers'. NO LEGITIMATE COMPANY WOULD EVER BE STUPID ENOUGH TO HATE THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! This statement makes no sense whatsoever. Obviously, wii has produced more in a shorter period of time than either X360 or PS3 has, they've sold over 9 MILLION in 8 months!!! And to say they are limiting supply so no one gets the system is... WHAT??? I'm confused by your logic. Why the crap would they want to keep people from getting their system?!? Every console company is doing everything they can to sell as many units as they can because they all want to win and make money. Nintendo is doing everything they can to boost supply, because more supply equals more sold equals more money... pretty straight forward. The only thing they may be doing at this point that would limit supply is stockpiling units so they can have more for the holidays, but the intention is not to 'keep people from getting their console'.

And to fault them for 'selling the system for more than it's worth' is pretty...uhh...silly. Most companies sell things for more than they cost to produce... simple economics, it's called making a profit. I don't think you would be very smart to start a business making widgets (just slang for anything you can produce/sell) and selling them for less than what they cost, that would be a crappy business. Right now, Nintendo seems to be the only one smart enough to design a system they don't lose money on.
