Wii will be hard to find even during the holidays?!?!?

There is still no evidence they will be for sure caught off guard for two christmases. By all accounts they have heavily increased production, yet sold totals have not increased significantly. To me, this hints that maybe (or almost certainly) they are SAVING UNITS FOR THE HOLIDAYS! That they are quite possibly attempting to prepare for what has the possibility to be the best selling holiday for a console. Whether or not they can produce enough is another question. I would not be surprised if they are/will soon be producing 2m/month.

That amount of hardware is ridiculous, and yet I wouldn't be surprised at all if Nintendo came out tomorrow with a statement that they would be producing that amount by the end of the year. Even October on alone would be an extra 1.5 million units to sell at christmas (based on the last figure I have heard, which was 1.5m/month. If this has changed, I would love to know)

As for there being no excuse...
When another console has launch sales as high relative to the wii as the wii's is relative to (name of any other console in history), we'll see how well they are able to keep up with the demand. Until that happens, lets just admit that Nintendo may have a bit more experience than us at worldwide distribution of the New Hotness.
