#2 was a blessing for the Wii as during the past two Christmas seasons, Nintendo was able to generate a lot of hype for the system which led to the increased demand that it now enjoys such as past Christmas shortages cause increased demand for in 2005 for the xbox 360 and has generally increased demand for toys like Cabbage Patch Dolls and Tickle Me Elmo.
However, correcting the problem is a curse for Nintendo because once the console is widely available in stores with the opportunity for people that really know nothing about games but had their want for the Wii increased by co-workers who were Nintendo fans and the scarcity of the console finally be able to see what the console is capable of graphic and technology wise compared to what the other systems can do, their demand for the system will fall off. When you put the PS3 with Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, or Final Fantasy XIII while on the next shelf next is a cheaper than the Wii 360 running Gears of War 2, while all you have running on the Wii sitting next to them is Animal Crossing or Wii Music which by comparison will only look like about like SNES games, you will see fewer people buying the Wii.
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.
