If I was Nintendo and I had a wildly popular console on my hand and could not service worldwide demand with it, I'd sell my consoles there where they make me the most money.

 


Where you start contradicting yourself and Pachter, is when you realise that Japan and Europe are serviced already, so only NA is left with not enough consoles. So all the supply goes to NA.

A funny way to self-own oneself though. Basically, why trying to imply a conspiracy that doesn't exist, unless you're a competitor's shill? Why trying to imply the currency is the cause, unless you're a competitor's astroturfer?

 

Funny, in my world NA has had less supply than usual for the Wii the last few weeks, while the rest of the world had more. As seen on the VGChartz homepage. What numbers have you been getting?

In fact, the whole bit where you say 'so only NA is left with not enough consoles' directly contradicts your 'NA gets all supply' statement.

 

The rest of your post is not even worth answering. Competitors shill? Get real man. I'm not the one who is claiming conspiracies exist - the OP has that bit quoted. I'll repeat it for you so you can read it this time round:

 

"Conspiracy theorists are saying that since Nintendo has already met their end of March goals (with 6 million units shipped), and are building up supply, continuing the demand, and ensuring awesome second quarter sales," speculates a May 2008 Geeksugar blog. "Unfortunately, with American retailers now running at 2.5 percent availability, some are expecting the Wii shortage to continue through 2009."

 

All I'm doing is further detracting from that bit of nonsense. Nintendo doesn't need to do anything to get a stellar 2nd quarter. The market is doing that for them!
