To you, Wii is " a simple hardware" and this is your only view to the difficulty of producing enough hardware to meet demand.
What why component is the reason for production shortages?
From a business perspective shortages often offer interesting advantages, interested consumers hear the Wii is short in supply and thus when they see one are more likely pushed to buy one right away. 'Buy quickly before its gone!', 'If I don't like it I can still generate a profit on Ebay', 'Wii is sold out, it must be the best!', etc. Just food for thought...
