And you say that based on what facts?
Fact 1: Nintendo has lowered at some point last year its expectations for the FY that ends March 2010 and reduced production
Fact 2: Wii had a record breaking month in December 2009, not just by Wii standards but by any standard, selling in the US 3.8 million consoles. The previous record holder was the PS2 around 2004 or so, with 2.8 million. Along with these new consoles, a lot of Wii Fit Plus with balance board and Wii Play were sold.
Combine the two facts (reduced production and totally unanticipated level of sales), and you have reall supply constraints.
