Wii sales are dropping quite fast ,although it can be due to shortages but how is it possible that Nintendo ships less consoles that one month ago ? Nintendo has shown us repeatedly that they don't really have the supply thing down. After the initial shortages, I think PS2 had 2 or 3 instances of major shortages in the next 6 years... But DS has had constant shortages in Japan and lengthy spot shortages elsewhere in just 2.5 years. iTrackr at 3% suggests Wii is really sold out, though. Nintendo did mention that shipments will be higher in April in their press release... their denial of holding back units for the new fiscal year seems suspect, to say the least.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
