Doesn't matter. There is NO excuse for still being sold out of a product a YEAR after its introduction, especially when demand is still so immensely high and there's zero danger in overproducing. I can understand being caught off guard for one Xmas, but being caught off guard for TWO? |
Your post tells me you don't realise what is involved in upping production. There is no dial on the Wii factory floor they can just turn to increase production. They have to open new facilities or expand existing facilities, this takes at least a year if you fast track like everything. There is an absolute ton of stuff to do.
The problem a lot of companies run into is that they increase their factory capacity or open new factories and then when demand drops off they have no need for this brand new factory that has been tooled for making their product. So they have to re-tool their brand new factory, which costs a significant portion of the original factory cost, and takes 4 to 5 months just to get it operational after a re-tool.
I know you folks are frustrated with not being able to get a Wii, but you really have no idea what is involved with Nintendo's end. So please have a little faith that one of the oldest industry giants does in fact know what they are doing.
