Xbox 360 gets the ring of death because Mircrsoft was trying to cut costs of they system and included an inferior cooling system.  The motherboard get super hot and warps.  Causing the chips to "pop out".  The Wii is simply designed and would not have any problems like that if Nintendo ramped up production to meet demand.

Your irrittablity is understandable, why you insist Nintendo could magically 'meet supply' is not.  You've been given multiple reasons why it hasn't by multiple people.  Doesn't seem to register though.  Fact is it's being produced at a very fast rate for a console, especially this early in the game.  Fact is it has sold out throught the entire year, which is unheard of, dispite producing what would normally be more than adequate amounts.  Meaning no in store or in warehouse stock to draw from (except maybe some for December, we'll see). Fact is the instant a store gets 5-50 Wii's they sell out within hours if not minutes. 

My son works in an electronics store.  They sell 7 PS3's a month.  They sell 70 Wii's within 2 hours of opening.  Nintendo simply cannot meet demand.  Accept it or don't but stop whining already.  Pretty much everyone here who owns one had to line-up early or continually hunt to get one.  It's not Russia, it's capitalism, enjoy.
