Can anyone think of a good reason why Nintendo still hasn't significantly increased their Wii production? If I were making the big decisions at Nintendo, I'd drive production over roof and drop prices by 50 or 100 as soon as the consoles spend more than a week on the shelves. They could easily afford it, and it would guarantee them the largest market share. Maybe they're still being too cautious, or have been increasing production all along and are stockpiling for the holidays?

I also wonder if N is stockpiling. Does this strategy even make business sense and does anybody know of a comapny which has done exactly this in the past?

If they're not stockpiling I think the 360 and possibly PS3 could do some real damage to Wii's install base lead it will have at that time.

 

Nahhh... history has taught us that the winner this gen has already been decided. Each console has already fallen into it's niche... check out the thread that discusses PS3's planned shipments, you can clearly see through Sony's past consoles what we should expect from the new market leader and currently there have been more Wii's made then Sony made PS1's and PS2's... Ignore the PS3 data, it was plunked on that graph to try and woo investors..
