Ive been saying the same thing. Mostly in the news articles here. Everyone is expecting the Wii to decimate this holiday season. Sure it has the POTENTIAL to, but will it have the supply? If there are 1m people out there in December that want a PS3, you better believe they wont have trouble finding them on shelves. But Wii's? Its looking like the Wii will be constrained ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING STARTS. Some people need to digest what that will do to Nintendos ability to get the console stacked up in retailers back rooms. If they sell when they hit the shelf then the retailers wont have a surplus. And not only that, you see Nintendo is constrained WORLD WIDE. Explain to me how in the hell they will go from zero Wii's on shelves to the MILLIONS needed on shelves to fulfill demand this November and December in the US, EU and Japan. Seriously. PS3 and 360 can do it because they both already have consoles languishing on the shelves, by this holiday season the surplus of PS3's and 360s will be massive. Millions available in all 3 territories waiting for a home. The Wii? Not so much.
Im still predicting November and December NPD's show Wii getting its arse handed to it by both the PS3 and 360. Not due to a lack of consumer intrest but a lack of supply.
