Another production line would be a pretty big thing.

First nintendo would have to get dedicated suppliers for its products and secure the shipping.

Next they will have to actually build another factory, and they probably just can't take an existing factory over, unless it made electronics in the past. Electronics need clean areas for assembly, and you can't just get any dirty old factory.

Then they will have to start interviewing and hiring workers, management, etc.

Then they can start making the wii's. I've ommitted a lot of stuff, but you get the idea. Another production line or factory, even when the next line is in the factory just sitting idle by the one you already use, will take a while to get going. I think that expecting nintendo to increase production in time for christmas is asking a lot, b/c they want to make sure that when they do add another production line, they do it the right way so that problems won't happen. Look for a production increase in early 08.
